Introduction: In Treatment of Glaucoma Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve which is essential for proper vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in the eye. Carpine Eye Drop is used to reduce swelling and pressure inside the eye. This helps prevent complications of glaucoma such as blindness and improves vision. This medicine may be used alone or with other eye drops. Glaucoma cannot be prevented. Frequent monitoring, regular checkups can help detect the disease in its early stages.

Benefits: 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.

Description: Carpine Eye Drop belongs to a group of medicine called miotics. It is used in the treatment of glaucoma and other eye conditions. It lowers the high pressure inside the eye and helps prevent vision loss and nerve damage. Carpine 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 medicine. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, as it may contaminate the eye drop. The common side effects are headache, accommodation disorder, eye irritation, eye pain, blurred vision, and visual impairment. These are usually temporary and only last for a short time. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, check with your doctor. It is not advised to drive after using this medicine.

How to Use: Carpine Eye Drop is a cholinergic agonist. It works by allowing excess aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) to drain from the eye, thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. It also helps reverse the effect of medicines that increase the size of the pupil.
