LUMIGAN EYE DROPS (BIMATOPROST 0.03% W/V): Comprehensive Guide and Benefits

Introduction to LUMIGAN EYE DROPS

LUMIGAN: Prostaglandin Analogue for Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension

LUMIGAN EYE DROPS contain Bimatoprost 0.03% w/v (0.3 mg/ml), a Prostaglandin Analogue belonging to the Antiglaucoma Drug Class. It is prescribed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping protect the optic nerve from pressure-related damage.

Bimatoprost works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour through both the uveoscleral and trabecular meshwork pathways. This lowers intraocular pressure and helps reduce the risk of progressive glaucoma-related vision loss.

LUMIGAN EYE DROPS are supplied as 1 bottle containing 3ml ophthalmic solution and should be used only under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
