Does anyone know of a good eye drop remedy for glaucoma that does NOT spike Tinnitus?

I have been on several and most recently Combigan. The drops spike my tinnitus to an unbearable pitch.

Any help greatly appreciated.

    Are you seeing an opthomologist? If you are and he or she is unable to help you then get another opthomologist's opinion.

    I take 4 different medications for glaucoma, but none of them have the preservative BAK, that is in most eye drops. That preservative can cause a number of problems for patients. You can ask for the preservative free versions, of most meds.

    glaucoma.org has a video about closing your eyes for three minutes after putting them in so you only get them in your eyes, not your body.
