Sightim Eye Drop

Sightim Eye Drop is used to treat raised/increased pressure in the eye in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged. This damaged nerve leads to an increase in eye pressure abnormally.

Sightim Eye Drop contains Bimatoprost and Timolol. Bimatoprost works by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) from the eye and reducing eye pressure. Timolol works by decreasing the fluid production in the eye.

The most common side effects of Sightim Eye Drop are eye pain, darkening of eyelashes, stinging sensation, irritation, foreign body sensation, change in the iris colour, itching, and burning sensation in the eye. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

• Intraocular Pressure Reduction: Sightim Eye Drop lowers intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humour production and increasing its outflow.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instil the prescribed number of drops. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.

• Bimatoprost (prostaglandin analogue) helps by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby reducing eye pressure.
• Timolol (beta-blocker) works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour, which further helps in lowering intraocular pressure.
• The combination effectively reduces the risk of optic nerve damage caused by high eye pressure.
• It helps in preventing vision loss associated with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
