Are you Looking to Buy Lumigan Eyedrops (Bimatoprost) from Pharmapassport.

Description

What is Lumigan? 

Lumigan (generic name: bimatoprost) is an ophthalmic medication indicated to lessen elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) among patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. This medication can also help prevent severe complications, such as blindness. 

This is available in Lumigan 0.01% and 0.03% ophthalmic solution. 

How does Lumigan work? 

This ophthalmic solution is a prostaglandin analog with ocular hypotensive action. It increases the outflow of aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral route. By decreasing the level of IOP, optic nerve damage and visual field loss can be prevented. 

How should I use Lumigan? 

You must read the drug information guide and administer the eyedrops precisely as prescribed. Use this solution once daily in the evening. Do not use this eyedrop more often than prescribed as it will not improve your condition. 

To apply the solution, first, you must wash your hands properly to avoid infection and contamination. Lean your head back a little and pull down the lower eyelid gently to form a pouch. Hold the dropper above the affected eye but be careful not to poke your eye with the tip of the dropper. Lookup & squeeze the bottle to release a drop into the lower eyelid. Then, look down and close your eyes for two minutes. Press the inner corner to prevent the solution from draining. Avoid squinting or rubbing your eye. Once done, replace the dropper cap and close it tightly.

The common adverse effects of Lumigan are dry eyes, eye redness, eye discomfort, watery eyes, temporary unstable vision, and dizziness. Other severe side effects you have to report are eye swelling, eye pain, vision changes, discharge from the eye, and increased light sensitivity.
