Q. What is Pilopress Eye Drop used for?
Pilopress Eye Drop is used to reduce high pressure inside the eye caused by glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It also helps prepare the eye for laser surgery or eye exams by shrinking the pupil (miosis).

The common side effects of Pilopress Eye Drop include headache, blurred vision, eye irritation, dim vision, eye pain, and sometimes nausea. These are usually mild and temporary.
Q. Who should not use Pilopress Eye Drop?
Do not use Pilopress Eye Drop if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Avoid using it if you have conditions where narrow pupils (miosis) can be harmful, such as iritis or uveitis.
Q. Can Pilopress Eye Drop cause night vision problems?
Yes, Pilopress Eye Drop may cause pupil constriction, which can make it harder to see in dim light or while driving at night. It is advised to exercise caution in low-light situations.

Although rare, serious side effects of Pilopress Eye Drop include retinal detachment, especially in people with a history of retinal issues or high myopia. Regular eye exams are important.
Q. Can I drive after using Pilopress Eye Drop?
Be careful about driving, especially at night, because Pilopress Eye Drop makes your pupils smaller, can cause dim vision, and may affect your ability to see in dark conditions. You should wait until you know how the drops affect you before driving or using machinery.
Q. How quickly does Pilopress Eye Drop start working?
Pilopress Eye Drop begins working within 20 minutes after putting Pilopress Eye Drop in the eye. The effects typically last for 4 to 6 hours, which is why multiple doses throughout the day are usually needed.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe eye pain, sudden vision changes, signs of eye infection, allergic reactions, severe headache, or nausea or vomiting.
Q. Will Pilopress Eye Drop change my eye color?
