I mostly had unequal vision in both eyes while using the pilocarpine in my Adie's right eye--what strength PIlocarpine did you use? I have gotten the best results from Pilocarpine Hci 2% although I started at 4% and then went to 1%, then finally after many years, settled in at 2%. I never had any tightness in my chest or anything like that. I actually use the drops now in both eyes because then they start out the same--with the pupils roughly reduced the same amount by the drops, and as the drops wear off, my vision pretty much remains the same in both eyes. Probably not the solution for everyone, but it has worked for me. I do recall feeling some discomfort initally when using the drops--that I promise goes away adter your eye becomes used to Pilocarpine. A good opthamalogist can work with you on finding the right strength for you. -----Original Message----- From: michaela_rees <michaela_rees@...> To: adie_syndrome@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, 13 Jan 2006 08:19:34 -0000 Subject: [adie_syndrome] Re: Holmes - Adie's Syndrome
Hi Julia
I have tried pilicarpine, but i still got the pain and when it srunk my pupil down, i got pain from that too and also i was getting tightness across my chest every time i used it which took hours to ease off, so im not sure if i should try them again.
what kind of symptoms did you first get from using them and how long before you got more use to them.
KInd Regards
Michaela
