Product introduction

Glaucom Eye Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the medication. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface, as it may contaminate the eye drop. For best results, use it daily in the evening or at night.


The common side effects include allergic conjunctivitis, burning sensation, conjunctival inflammation, conjunctival hyperemia, eye itching, allergic reaction in the eyes, dry mouth, and visual disturbance. If they persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Caution is advised for driving after administration of this injection if your eyes are unable to concentrate and react.

Uses of Glaucom Eye Drop

Benefits of Glaucom Eye Drop

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in your eye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60 or older. Glaucom Eye Drop is used to reduce swelling and pressure inside the eye. This helps to prevent complications of glaucoma such as blindness and improves the vision.
Ocular hypertension
Ocular hypertension is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal eye pressure. This may occur due to an injury, certain diseases or as an adverse effect of certain medications. Glaucom Eye Drop reduces the fluid accumulation of the eye and facilitates draining of the fluid from the eyes. This helps treat ocular hypertension and prevents further damage or complications such as vision changes or even vision loss.

Side effects of Glaucom Eye Drop

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Glaucom
  • Eye itching
  • Allergic reaction in eye
  • Conjunctival hyperemia
  • Follicular conjunctivitis
  • Dryness in mouth
  • Allergic conjunctivitis
  • Burning sensation
  • High blood pressure
  • Visual disorder

How to use Glaucom Eye Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

How Glaucom Eye Drop works

Glaucom Eye Drop is a sympathomimetic. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Quick tips

  • For best results, put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s).
  • Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop.
  • Remove contact lenses before using Glaucom Eye Drop and allow at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
  • Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface or to your eye to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
  • Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
  • Glaucom Eye Drop may cause short-term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines.
  • It may cause a temporary burning or itching sensation in the eye. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
  • Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
