    I had secondary glaucoma and used Cosopt.  They had manufacturing problems but managed to get me some from Spain and France if the languages were anything to go by.  They sorted the problem eventually.

    What drops do you use and what country are you in?

      Is it the Ophthalmologist who has prescribed the alternative drop?  They will know what they are doing and will regularly check your pressures, so, don't worry.
