Glucoptic Drops 5 ml

Your doctor may prescribe GLUCOPTIC DROP to treat several conditions, including:

• Open-angle glaucoma: GLUCOPTIC DROP helps by lowering the fluid pressure inside your eye, which protects the optic nerve from damage and prevents progressive vision loss.
• Ocular hypertension: GLUCOPTIC DROP reduces elevated pressure in the eye in patients who have high pressure but do not yet show signs of nerve damage or vision loss.

GLUCOPTIC DROP provides targeted eye care support by helping maintain healthy pressure inside the eyes and protecting long-term vision. By controlling eye pressure directly at the source, this medicine offers several key health benefits:

• Protection Against Long-Term Vision Loss: GLUCOPTIC DROP helps keep eye pressure within a safe range, reducing the risk of silent and progressive optic nerve damage that can occur with high eye pressure.
• Targeted Eye Pressure Control: Applied directly to the eye, GLUCOPTIC DROP works where it is needed most, helping provide effective pressure management with minimal impact on the rest of the body.
• Preservation of Daily Activities and Quality of Life: By supporting stable eye pressure control, GLUCOPTIC DROP helps protect vision needed for everyday activities such as reading, driving, and working, while providing greater confidence in long-term eye health
   

Always follow your doctor's exact instructions on how to use this medicine. Follow these step-by-step instructions for safe and effective use:

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the drops.
• Tilt your head back slightly, look upward, and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
• Hold the dropper bottle directly over your eye, squeeze one drop into the pocket, and gently close your eye.
• Press your finger lightly against the inner corner of your eye (near your nose) for 1 to 2 minutes to stop the liquid from draining into the rest of your body.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface to keep the solution sterile.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.

• Limit your intake of caffeine, as consuming large amounts of coffee, tea, or soda in a short time can temporarily raise eye pressure.
• Drink fluids in moderate amounts throughout the day; drinking large volumes of liquid all at once can increase pressure inside the eyes.
• Engage in moderate, regular physical activities such as brisk walking, which can help reduce eye pressure. Some studies suggest that certain inverted positions (inverted yoga) may temporarily increase eye pressure in some people. Discuss any exercise restrictions with your eye specialist, especially if you have glaucoma or advanced optic nerve damage.
• Wear protective eyewear when playing sports, doing home repairs, or working in the yard to shield your eyes from physical injury.
• Keep all your scheduled appointments with your eye doctor to track your eye pressure and ensure the treatment is working effectively.
   

• Check the solution before every use; do not use the eye drops if the seal is broken or if the liquid looks cloudy or discoloured.
• If you use other eye drops or eye ointments, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between using GLUCOPTIC DROP and your other eye medications so they do not wash each other out.
• Avoid driving or using heavy machinery immediately after applying the drops, as your vision may be temporarily blurry.
• Always remove your contact lenses before applying the drops, as the preservative in the liquid can damage soft lenses.
• Keep the tip of the dropper perfectly clean by avoiding any contact with your eye surface, hands, or other objects.
• After opening, many multi-dose GLUCOPTIC DROP eye drop bottles should be discarded after about 28 days or according to the manufacturer’s instructions, even if some solution remains. Do not use expired or contaminated drops.
