Xalatan has been completely effective in keeping my increased eye pressure down with no noticeable side effects for the past 5 years. I live in Spain and my national health plan covers most of the cost (I pay the equivalent of $10 a month for Xalatan), so the cost has not been an issue for me.

Unfortunately, most of us only comment about medications and treatments when they have not worked for us.

Am a glaucoma suspect. Reduced IOP from 25 to 16. No side effects whatsoever. I keep in fridge and enjoy the cool feeling in eyes when administering. Love the stuff.

Pressure in both eyes was 30 and within two weeks of using Xalatan, went to 15. No bad experiences yet except a little burning when putting drops in. Been on it for about 5 months and major issue is cost for that little bottle. Works good so far.

I've been using Xalatan for 9 months, one drop in each eye before bed. It has lowered my IOP as desired (it was near-normal before, but was prescribed due to signs of open angle glaucoma). I've experienced no side-effects at all other than occasional minor stinging when I put the drops in.
