What Causes Distorted Vision While On Lumigan Eye Drops?

My husband recently has experienced a type of tiling or ripple effect with his vision every now and then, lasting maybe 3 to 5 minutes per episode. Can you give a cause or reason why this may be happening? He takes 1 drop of Lumingan every night per doctors order because of what they said was pressure on the eyes that can lead to Glaucoma. We realize this is an educated guess without seeing him yet, but would appreciate your response on possible causes, thank you!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lumigan is the best drug there is for glaucoma mam. but this tilting or rippling doesn't occur in glaucoma and is indication towards some kind of retinal pathology so after first consulting your glaucoma doctor can you get a retina examination done.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
