Doesn’t look like significant side effect.
High IOP can be dangerous as if may cause permanent vision loss.
Still if you feel timolol not suitable for you-there are alternative eye drops like prostaglandin analogues eg travoprost or latanoprost eye drops that you can use for lowering your eye pressure
Next Steps
Consult your doctor and can discuss of alternate eye drops

Good afternoon sir
Iotim is a safe drug to control eye pressure. But it should not be used in patients with asthma, breathing problem and heart problem. Sometimes iotim is used in combination with brimonidine. Brimonide can result in drowsiness.
