Safely Buy Lumigan Eyedrops ( Bimatoprost ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Lumigan eye drops are a medication used to treat certain types of glaucoma and other causes of high pressure inside the eye.

The active ingredient in Lumigan is bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, which helps regulate the flow of fluid within the eye to maintain normal pressure. It can be used alone or in combination with other medications to lower elevated intraocular pressure.

Use and Dosage

Apply this medication in the affected eye(s) as directed by your doctor, usually once a day in the evening. Do not use bimatoprost more often because it will not work as well.

To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.

Bimatoprost contains a preservative that may stain contact lenses. If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using your eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes after each dose before putting your lenses back in.

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. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. 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.

Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use, and keep the cap tightly closed.

If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day. Keep using bimatoprost even if you feel well. Most people with glaucoma or high pressure in the eye do not have symptoms.
