Product Introduction
Dortas Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution used to reduce elevated pressure inside the eye, a condition that may occur due to or lead to glaucoma. High intraocular pressure can harm the optic nerve, potentially resulting in vision loss. This medication works by decreasing the production of fluid within the eye, helping to maintain healthy eye pressure and protect vision.
Before first use, ensure that the bottle seal is intact. Wash your hands thoroughly and shake the bottle gently before applying the drops. If you wear contact lenses, remove them prior to use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor, as stopping suddenly may cause a rise in eye pressure, which can harm your eyesight.
Some individuals may experience side effects such as mild stinging or burning in the eyes, blurred vision, eyelid irritation, or an unpleasant bitter taste in the mouth. Other less common effects include headaches, nausea, fatigue, or general eye discomfort. If your vision becomes blurry, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until it clears.
This medication should not be used by individuals with severe kidney conditions or those allergic to sulfonamide-containing medicines. Inform your doctor if you have liver issues, dry eyes, or corneal problems before starting this treatment. Do not use other eye drops unless recommended by your healthcare provider.
