I have dry eyes right now because of allergies and an autoimmune condition that causes dry eyes. Nothing to do with glaucoma, but with that added issue, I would be getting him to the ophthalmologist more frequently.[/quote]

You just gave me an idea! I have anti allergy eye drops I never opened and I think they are still not expired, OTC. I’ll bring him those![/quote]

You probably should check with his ophthalmologist first before telling him to use different eye drops than the ones the doctor recommended.

I have an eye condition (not glaucoma) that requires a particular regimen of different types of eye drops. I would never add in a different type of drops without checking with my ophthalmologist first.

I thought if it was otc it was fine, but I’ll have him ask his Dr first

Yeah that’s what I said to him, he can skip as much as he likes. He doesn’t want to go to general get togethers for some reason.

And honestly I think he just wants to complain and justify why he isn’t doing “more” of whatever it is!
