Common side effects include red eyes, blurry vision, eye pain, dry eyes, and change in color of the eyes.[4][5] Other significant side effects may include cataracts.[5] Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally not recommended.[5] It is a prostaglandin analog and works by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eyes.[4]
