Effectiveness
How Lumigan Affects Patients
High eye pressure is dangerous and can lead to vision loss. People with ocular hypertension or glaucoma can have very high levels of eye pressure. Bimatoprost helps to lower eye pressure quickly and reduce the risk of vision loss. It can also cause changes in the color or thickness of the eyelids, iris, and eyelashes. If only one eye is treated with bimatoprost, it may look different than the other eye. Patients should be aware of these potential side effects.
How Lumigan works in the body
Bimatoprost mimics the effects of a natural chemical called prostaglandin F2α. This chemical helps to reduce the pressure in your eye, which protects your optic nerve from damage. Bimatoprost makes it easier for fluid in your eye to drain out, which reduces the pressure. It does not affect the amount of fluid in the eye, only how easily it can flow out.
When to interrupt dosage
The suggested measure of Lumigan is contingent upon the recognized condition, such as Open Angle Glaucoma, Increased Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) and Eyelash. The amount of dosage alters, in line with the technique of delivery presented in the table below.
