Lower Is Better! Using Beta-Blocker to lower eye pressure for people who diagnosed with Glaucoma.
According to the World Health Organization, Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. Often, it has no warning signs and some surprising risk factors. We may not notice changes in pressure until our car tire is flat or our garden hose is bursting with water. Pressure plays an important role in daily life and a very important one in eye health.
Using the latest technology, and Beta-Blockers eye drops, your eye doctor can detect and treat serious diseases like Glaucoma before damage occurs.
Beta-Blocker
Beta-blockers can help to relieve the ‘fight-or-flight’ reactions that fuel anxiety. Less commonly, they may be used for migraines, glaucoma, overactive thyroid, tremors, and anxiety. The high pressure within the eyeball is reduced using beta-blocker eye drops. The medication lowers the production of fluid inside the eyeball. Below is a list of beta-blockers or ophthalmic agents often used to treat Glaucome.
What is an ophthalmic glaucoma eye drop?
An ophthalmic agent is used to reduced eye pressure in glaucoma. Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that lead to damage to the optic nerve, which in most cases, is due to increased pressure in the eye. More than one type of eye drop may be used at a time, and regular use is very important.
