Red Rash After Using Combigen For Glaucoma. Cause?
My ophthalmologist switched me from timopticXL to combigen drops to control my glaucoma. I have been using them about 6 months and have gradually developed a very red rash around both eyes. I went to the dermatologist who has given me cortisone cream which helps, but the rash continues to be a problem. Could it be caused by the new glaucoma drops?

Hi, a dermatologist problem usually wont occur on both sides, (infection). it appears to be due to ophthalmic drops only. You would have informed the dermatologist about using the drops, and on set of the rash.
I advise you to consult your ophthalmologist regarding this and your treatment there after. He may change the drops again. Thank you.
