* Could long-term use of taurine-containing eye drops cause adverse effect(s)?

Participants will:

* Take taurine-containing eye drops (VIZILOTON eye drops) 4 times a day for one year.
* Visit eye clinic every 3 months for assessment and visual examination.
* Keep notes for their symptoms and their adherence to treatment.
