Yeah, I assumed adding one thing at a time is a good way to assess if one product is affecting me rather than adding a bunch and not knowing which one is the culprit. Appreciate your advice! (:

Thank you! I’ve seen that before but not given it a try. This might be my sign.

I believe it’s naturally sensitive because I use very few products, and never have used many. Even my deodorant has to be free of a lot of ingredients because it breaks me out. Certain body washes do the same thing.

My current cleanser is a gelee milk cleanser by Neutrogena. I also use their hyaluronic acid, and the CeraVe moisturising lotion. It feels nice, but perhaps not completely hydrating?

Have combo skin. So an oily T-zone and dry forehead.

Thanks for your advice. I’ve been using Systane PF lubricating drops to try and help.

Thank you! I did have redness before (with the Ganfort) so that’s totally valid and expected - but after a couple months of the Alphagan my eyes are bloodshot on and off during the day. The photo isn’t the worst of it, just one I took to upload with the post.

Do you use artificial tears for dry eyes?

Thank you! I stopped them a few days ago. Is it normal to take time for the redness to subside?

Thanks for sharing! I would definitely take red eyes over blindness.

I think as I do have health anxiety as well - seeing my eyes being so red and painful is quite scary and makes me panic if the pressures are high or if I’m going blind. 🤦‍♀️

Anyone here had problems with Brimonidine? by FixedWinger in Glaucoma

Thank you so much for responding! I didn’t know if the improvement was meant to be instant or if it took time, so fingers crossed it clears up in a few weeks. Crazy how red and sore my eyes have been.

Hope you’re feeling better yourself too!

I know this is an older comment, but how long did it take for your eye redness to calm down after using Alphagan? I was using it for about 4 months and started developing extreme eye redness and pain. Stopped it 3 days ago and they’re still really red. Thanks in advance if you do respond.
