[QUOTE=GerryW;1207896]Dopamine eye drops?

About 4 years back, I was diagnosed with glaucoma and I suspected it had something to do with PD or the meds. At that time, I found very little information connecting PD and glaucoma. Quite recently, I found out that a connection exists. This warning is a new addition to the list of side effects of L-dopa.

"Patients with chronic wide-angle glaucoma may be treated cautiously with SINEMET provided the intraocular pressure is well-controlled and the patient is monitored carefully for changes in intraocular pressure during therapy"

I am not sure if dopamine would have the same effect as L-dopa.
