Pl consult Ophthalmologist with detailed history and reports. Certain reports have to be done. Better to consult Ophthalmologist personally.

I would suggest you to visit your regular ophthalmologist who has prescribed your mother these eye drops for any alternative brand/drug if you are not able to find pilocar. as angle closure glaucoma is a serious issue its better you meet the doctor in person
