Sounds promising.  The current products that cause vasoconstriction feel harmful to my eyes and my ophth agrees.  B&L say this: "The new low-dose brimonidine formulation appears to provide greater microvessel constriction at mucosal surfaces and is thought to retain more optimal blood flow from larger feeder vessels,"  I hope it lives up to the hype!

Yes, current options are harmful.
I'm really waiting for this to be marketed soon.
It will supposedly be OTC!
