Rifas Eye Drops 5 ml

Your doctor may prescribe Rifas Eye Drops 5 ml to help manage the following conditions:

• Open-angle glaucoma: Rifas Eye Drops 5 ml helps reduce the fluid pressure inside the eye, which protects the optic nerve from damage and helps preserve your sight.
• Ocular hypertension: This medicine lowers elevated pressure in the eyes of individuals who have high eye pressure but do not yet show signs of glaucoma damage.

When used as prescribed, Rifas Eye Drops 5 ml may provide the following benefits:

• Helps Protect Your Vision: By helping keep pressure inside the eye within the target range, Rifas Eye Drops 5 ml helps reduce the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss.
• Supports Long-term Eye Health: Keeping eye pressure under control is an important part of managing glaucoma and ocular hypertension and may help preserve your vision over time.
• Helps Maintain Eye Pressure Control: Consistent control of eye pressure supports the long-term management of your eye condition.

• Rifas Eye Drops 5 ml is for ophthalmic (for eye) use only.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Check the label for directions before using this medication.
• Lie down and tilt your head backward. Gently pull your lower eyelid with your index finger to form a pocket. Instil the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Replace the outer cap after use.
• Avoid touching the container tip to the eye or eyelids to prevent contamination.

• Attend regular eye exams: Glaucoma often develops without early symptoms, so routine eye pressure checks are vital to monitor your progress.
• Limit large amounts of caffeine: Drinking highly caffeinated beverages in large quantities can temporarily increase pressure inside your eyes.
• Stay hydrated gradually: Drink fluids in moderate amounts throughout the day rather than consuming large quantities of water all at once, which can raise eye pressure.
