I have been on Ganfort for about 5 months. Prior to Ganfort I had been using Timoptol drops for about 20 years.
Recently my eye pressures increased and I had an iridotomy which the consultant says has worked, but has kept me on Ganfort. Next appt with the hospital in 9 months time.
Anyone on these drops suffers from sleeplessness and vivid dreams? I am awake pretty much every night from 2.00 onwards and rarely get back to sleep.
A side effect according to their information sheet is nightmares. I don't have nightmares as such just very vivid intricate dreams which I remember in detail when I wake up.
Another side effect is hair loss. I have thick hair, but notice more often now loose hairs floating onto my shoulders and in my comb and brush. Ganfort is supposed to be more effective at keeping pressure down than Timoptol, but the sleeplessness is getting to me now and I would like to change back. Any Glaucoma sufferers out there...and awake?
