Latoprost Eye Drop
Product Introduction
Latoprost Eye Drop is used to lower eye pressure in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. High pressure inside the eye can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss or blindness. Latoprost works by improving the natural flow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream, thereby reducing pressure.
It can be used in adults and children, either alone or in combination with other eye drops. For best results, use it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop treatment suddenly, as eye pressure may rise again and damage vision.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Never use a bottle if the seal is broken before first use.
