Eye Drops Reminder for Glaucoma: Never Skip a Drop

What are glaucoma eye drops commonly prescribed for?

Glaucoma eye drops are prescribed to lower the pressure inside the eye and protect the optic nerve from damage. Common types include prostaglandin drops such as latanoprost and beta blocker drops such as timolol, and many people use more than one kind.

Glaucoma is usually a lifelong condition, so the drops are usually a lifelong routine. Damage from glaucoma cannot be reversed, which is why steady treatment matters so much.

Why does using eye drops on time matter?

Glaucoma often causes no pain and no change you can feel until damage is done, so there is nothing to remind you to use your drops. Steady eye pressure depends on using them at the times your eye doctor set, every day.

Your eye doctor may ask you to use some drops once a day, often in the evening, and others more often. If you use more than one kind, you will usually be asked to wait a few minutes between them so the first is not washed out.
