I have read the threads on the nasal spray and agree that people do seem to get rebound flushing. Could you possibly direct me to where people have tried Alphagan P?

I am not waiting till 2010 to see if it works. If you can put something like that in your eyes! I'm sure a drop on my cheeks won't be the worst thing. Heck...I can go out side and be subjected to worse elements on my face. I wonder if I can purchase those eye drops out of the country...like maybe Canada?? Anyone have a thought on that!??

As a treatment for Glaucoma, Alphagan P is of course used in the eye. The list of possible side effects from using Alphagan P is long. I would suggest that Opthalmic use of Alphagan P is only for severe disease. Here is the list of possible side effects, in decreasing order of prevalence. (from http://www.alphaganp.com/ALPHGANP.pdf). "allergic conjunctivitis, conjunctival hyperemia, eye pruritus, burning sensation, conjunctival folliculosis, ocular allergic reaction, visual disturbance, allergic reaction,blepharitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, blurred vision, cataract, conjunctival edema, conjunctival hemorrhage, conjunctivitis, eye discharge, eye dryness, eye irritation, eye pain, eyelid edema, eyelid erythema, follicular conjunctivitis, foreign body sensation, keratitis, lid disorder, photophobia, rhinitis, stinging, superficial punctate keratopathy, tearing, visual field defect, vitreous detachment, vitreous disorder, vitreous floaters, and worsened visual acuity, corneal erosion." It is an interesting question as to whether Galderma/Collagenex would be interested in developing and marketing COL-118 or indeed Alphagan P (owned by Allergan) as an ocular rosacea treatment. davidp.
