Uses
This medication is used alone or with other medications to treat certain types of glaucoma and other eye conditions (e.g., accommodative esotropia, synechial formation). It is also used to test for certain eye conditions (e.g., accommodative esotropia). It works by causing the pupil to shrink, decreasing the amount of fluid within the eye, and affecting certain eye muscles.
Notes
  • Do not share this medication with others.Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., eye exams) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects.
  • Consult your doctor for more details.

Overdose

How To Use
  • To apply eye drops, wash your hands first.
  • To avoid contamination, be careful not to touch the dropper to any surface or let it touch your eye.If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using eye drops.
  • Wait at least 15 minutes before replacing your contact lenses.Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch.
  • Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch.
  • Let go of the eyelid and gently close your eyes.
  • Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • This will prevent the medication from draining out.
  • Try not to blink and do not rub your eye.
  • Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed or if your dose is for more than 1 drop.Remove extra solution around the eye with a tissue and wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.
  • Do not rinse the dropper.
  • Replace the dropper cap after each use.If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before using the other medication.
  • Use eye drops before ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
  • Do not increase your dose or use more frequently than directed by your doctor.
  • Doing so may increase the risk for serious side effects.
