Bimatoprost & Timolol Eye Drops

Bimatoprost & Timolol eye drops are a combination medication primarily used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye). Here's a breakdown of what they do:

🔹 Primary Uses
Open-Angle Glaucoma

Lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) to help prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Ocular Hypertension

Reduces pressure inside the eye when it's higher than normal but not yet causing glaucoma.

🔹 How They Work
Bimatoprost (a prostaglandin analog):
Increases the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye), reducing pressure.

Timolol (a beta-blocker):
Decreases the production of aqueous humor, also helping to lower intraocular pressure.

Together, they effectively reduce eye pressure more than either one alone.
