Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:   

• Open-angle glaucoma: Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml helps by facilitating the drainage of fluid from the front of the eye while simultaneously reducing fluid production, which successfully lowers high intraocular pressure and prevents optic nerve damage.
• Ocular hypertension: Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml is used to lower abnormally high pressure within the eye in patients who do not yet show signs of visual field loss, significantly reducing their risk of developing glaucoma.

Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml offers several benefits that help manage eye pressure and support long-term eye health. Key benefits include:

• Dual-Action Formula: Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml offers the distinct advantage of a dual-action approach to managing eye pressure.
• Simplifies Your Routine: By combining two active mechanisms into a single bottle, it significantly simplifies your daily treatment routine, sparing you from the hassle of managing and timing multiple different eye drop formulations throughout the day.
• Long-Lasting Eye Pressure Control: This medication provides continuous, reliable control over intraocular pressure, helping to stabilise the delicate environment within your eye.
• Protects the Optic Nerve: By consistently keeping pressure within a safe target range, it protects the optic nerve from the silent, gradual damage that leads to vision loss, allowing you to maintain your visual independence and peace of mind. 

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Pull your lower eyelid gently with your index finger to form a pocket. Instill the number of drops advised by the doctor into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml is for ophthalmic use only.
• Avoid touching the container tip to your eye or lids to prevent contamination.

• Avoid heavy straining: Refrain from heavy weightlifting or intense isometric exercises, as well as prolonged head-down positions (such as certain yoga poses), which can temporarily raise pressure inside your eyes.
• Limit caffeine intake: Consuming large amounts of highly caffeinated beverages in a short period can cause a temporary spike in intraocular pressure. Keep your daily coffee or tea consumption moderate.
• Sleep with your head elevated: Using an extra pillow to keep your head slightly raised while you sleep can help reduce fluid buildup in the eyes overnight, keeping morning eye pressure more stable.
• Be cautious in dim lighting: Since pilocarpine constricts your pupils, your eyes will not adapt well to the dark. Wear high-quality sunglasses in bright sunlight and avoid driving at night if your night vision is compromised.
• Hydrate gradually: Drink water and other fluids in small amounts throughout the course of the day. Drinking large volumes of liquid very quickly can cause a temporary rise in eye pressure. 

• Medicine quality: Always inspect the liquid in the bottle before using it; do not use the eye drops if the solution appears cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
• Prevent contamination: Never let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any other surface to keep the solution free from harmful bacteria.
• Contact lenses: If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative in the drops can be absorbed by and ruin soft lenses.
• Before surgery: Inform any doctor, surgeon, or dentist treating you that you are using Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5 ml, because the active ingredients can interact with medications used during general anaesthesia or surgery.
• Driving and night vision: Avoid driving or operating machinery in low-light conditions, as the pupil-constricting effect of the drops can significantly reduce your night vision.
