About Lacoma PF Eye Drops

Lacoma PF Eye Drops belongs to the class of ophthalmic medications indicated to lower the intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, resulting in reduced vision. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).
