Latanoprost vs xalatan

Submitted by billym on Thu, 05/12/2011 - 8:47am

I have been using Xalatan for the last 10 years and the mail order sent me Latanoprost instead of Xalatan. I requested Xalatan when I ordered but the sent me Latanoprost (made by Apotex corp.  I wonder if the generic version is as good as Xalatan?  Has anyone here compared it.  I have had zero problems with xalatan.

IOP pressure after dialation

Submitted by billym on Mon, 07/14/2008 - 10:35pm

 For the last few months, I was keeping my pressure down around 17/18 without using my xalatan. However I went to the doctor the other day and he dialated my eyes ( I hate dialation) and my eyes were feeling a little funny so I went and checked the pressure today and it was 22/23 so I used xalatan tonight.  Has anyone else experience  increased IOP pressure after dialation?

Vitamins and pressure

Submitted by billym on Thu, 07/10/2008 - 11:22pm

I guess I am like a lot of people, I take vitamins in hopes of preventing desease and to feel better. I started taking lots of Leutin and 2 1000mg of bilberry each day since they are supposed to be eye vitamins. I told a friend about the bilberry and he said it made his eyes water and I noticed mine do too.  Has anyone who tests their own pressure ever taken these vitamins to see if they bring the pressure down?
