What Causes Glaucoma With Bloodshot Eyes And Redness?

Hello Dr. Rynne I am taking drops in my eyes for glaucoma (early stages) and in the last 3-4 weeks the whites of my eyes get very bloodshot sometimes, then clear up, then get red again, back and forth. I contacted my opthamologist, and she had me take a periferal vision test but there is no change from before. My eyes don t hurt, but I don t know why they are so red sometimes. I use eyedrops: Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic solution 0.2% and Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic solution 0.5% 2 times a day. Sorry. I didn t realize this was a pay site. I will just contact my regular doctor. Thanks.
