EYE DROP RELATED QUERY
I had had HRT test after one month of LASIK. My CCT is 490 and 460 and HRT value was
OD 22.3/21.21/11.0/9.1
OS 23.8/22.3/11.0/8.6
Doctor said that the eye pressure is a little higher and so he advised me to use IOTIM eye drops twice a day for two weeks.
I have a query that should I use IOTIM is there any side effect of it like blurred vision ?

Hello
As your corneal thickness decreases after lasik so we have to include correction factor while checking pressure
As your left eye cct is 460 this means we have to decrease at least 4-5mm from your recorded pressure which means if a machine measures 16mm pressure in left eye then actual pressure would be 11-12mm
Considering this.... Timolol should be used after considering this correction factor
Having said that, Timolol does not impair vision and safe to use if there is no asthma or other heart disease etc
