Lumigan Eye Drop is a medication used to lower high pressure in the eyes, particularly in adults with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Elevated eye pressure can lead to vision damage and may even cause blindness. This eye drop helps by improving the drainage of fluid from within the eye into the bloodstream.
It can be used by both adults and children and may be prescribed alone or with other eye medications to effectively manage eye pressure. To achieve the best results, use it exactly as prescribed by your doctor and maintain regular usage. Discontinuing the medication abruptly may result in increased eye pressure and potential vision loss. Do not use the drop if the seal is broken before opening. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Common side effects may include redness of the eyes (conjunctival hyperemia) and itching. If you experience any side effects, consult your doctor, who may recommend ways to manage or reduce them, or consider alternative treatments. If you experience temporary blurred vision or other visual disturbances, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision clears. These effects are usually short-lived.
