What Causes Eye Blurriness After Using Latanoprost For Glaucoma In Left Eye?

I have been using Latanoprost for a couple of months. Soon after I began taking it, my blurriness started. I have glaucoma in left eye probably as a result of a vitrectomy. I started with combigan but it didn t get my pressure down. As soon as I started on the latanoprost, my pressure came down to normal. But I have the blurriness. Do you think the latanoprost could be causing this. Before taking it my vision was quite good in that eye. After starting the latanoprost, I could barely read the eyechart.

Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that sudden rise in intraoccular pressure can cause blurry vision. Kindly consult you treating ophthalmologist personally for proper treatment.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
