Has anyone had severe side effects from Timoptic-XE 0.25% eye drops for glaucoma?
I've been using Timoptic-XE 0.25% Ophthalmic Solution for a few months now to manage my glaucoma, and while it's been effective, I've had some concerning symptoms lately. I've experienced burning and irritation but was wondering if anyone has had any of the more serious side effects listed such as chest pains and trouble breathing. What should I do?

Just heard somewhere that timolol can cause heart failure. Have you had any issues with that?
If you're experiencing any of the side effects like chest pain or shortness of breath, or if your eyes are hurting a lot, call your doctor immediately. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
My mom had awful symptoms on a similar drug, but she hadn't had a response like yours. She switched to a different medication and was fine. The doctor said that reactions can vary widely from person to person.
Why didn't your doctor prescribe a different treatment if you're having such bad side effects?
The most common side effects are usually minor, but the severe ones are rare but can be really dangerous. I had a friend who had an allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital. If you're experiencing any of the urgent side effects, don't mess around—get to a doctor.
I've been on Timoptic for years and haven't had any serious issues. Just the occasional stinging. But if you're experiencing chest pains, you need to call your doctor right away. Don't wait!
I had some dryness and irritation as well. It lasted a while but went away after a few weeks. My doctor gave me eye drops to use before the Timoptic, and that helped a lot.
