What Is Causing Tearing And Itching In Left Eye When Taking Timolo In Right Eye?
I am taking timolo for IOP in my right eye. My left eye is tearing and itches which makes me want to rub my left eye. Is the timolo causing issue with the eye not receiving the eye drops? Didn't have this problem until started doing the drops. Was wondering if it's a side effect.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are using timolol in right eye and you are having tearing and itching in the left eye.
Use of timolol in right eye is not responsible for your problems in left eye.
Hence you need eye examination to look for the underlying causes for tearing and itching in the left eye. The common causes for this are allergic conjunctivitis and require treatment by use of antiallergic eye drops.
Thank you
