Adamrach, Do you have an eye doctor who is prescribing you eye drops? Perhaps you can ask them what the options are, do research on them (here or elsewhere) and then also ask your neurologist about it.

Pharmacists are also a good place to check in with, especially since you can not only have adverse effects from one drug but interactions with any others you might be taking.

Fotunatos, It really depends upon the person. The way you stated your response, it sounded like you were talking about all eye drops out there. There are many drops, such as those given by eye doctors, that can make MGers much worse. The drops with Atropine in them can make someone with bad bulbar symptoms choke their eyes out.

Adamrach, I think it's important for you to speak to your doctors.
