All medications can have side effects, though not all medications cause side effects in all people. If you have side effects with one medication, it makes sense to try a different one. There are a number of different classes of medications marketed now for treatment of glaucoma. The only way to tell if a medication is causing side effects is to stop the medication and see if they go away, then start the medication again to see if the side effects return, then repeat this process once again. Sometimes, it is the preservative in the medications rather than the medications themselves that cause the side effects. In such cases, it is possible to get preservative-free medication.
