I was initially prescribed Brinzox eye drops and now Travo-Z. Why are these medicines being prescribed if I do not have glaucoma?

Asked by Female, 65 · 10 days ago

Both Brinzox and Travo-Z are eye drops designed to lower the pressure inside your eyes. Even if you do not have glaucoma, your doctor likely detected elevated eye pressure, a condition known as ocular hypertension. Much like taking medication for high blood pressure to prevent a heart attack, lowering your eye pressure is a preventive measure. If left untreated, high pressure can eventually damage your optic nerve and lead to glaucoma. These medications are being prescribed proactively to protect your optic nerve and preserve your vision. Please continue to use them exactly as directed by your ophthalmologist.
