Prescription Medication for Glaucoma

Dorzolamide/Timolol ophthalmic solution are prescription eye drops used to treat glaucoma. This medication combines a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (dorzolamide) and a beta-blocker (timolol) to lower high levels of pressure in the eye.

Timolol eye drops are a beta-blocker medication used to reduce intraocular pressure in conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the eye, timolol decreases the production of aqueous humor, which helps lower eye pressure and reduces the risk of optic nerve damage. This medication is typically applied once or twice daily and is effective in preventing vision loss associated with elevated eye pressure.

Latanoprost is in the class of medications called prostaglandin analogs and is commonly prescribed to treat open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Latanoprost works to reduce pressure in the eyes by improving the drainage of the aqueous humor (i.e. fluid inside the eyes) and therefore preventing damage to the optic nerve and preserving vision.

Bimatoprost eye drops are used to lower high pressure inside the eye, which helps prevent vision loss from conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension. They work by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye, reducing intraocular pressure. Bimatoprost is also used to treat eyelash hypotrichosis, helping eyelashes grow longer, thicker, and darker. The drops are typically applied once daily in the evening and should be used exactly as prescribed to ensure safety and effectiveness
