Glaucoma

I have wide-angle glaucoma, and the optic pressure appears to be under control with drops. However, the disease continues to progress as my visual field continues to shrink. I am concerned that the drugs I take for BPH and ED (Uroxatrol and Cialis) may be causing nocturnal hypotension and affecting the blood flow to my eyes. Any other members with similar concerns or advice?

Dad,
I would definitely talk to BOTH of your physicians soon. These drugs DO lower blood pressure - that was their intended effect. The ED was a delightful side effect. In fact, on the side of caution, I would not take any until both doctors have cleared it.

Talk to your doctor about replacing the Cialis with an injection. Injections only effect the genital area and not the whole circulatory system.
