Lanax Eye Drops 3 ml belongs to the class of ophthalmic medications indicated to lower the intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve and results in reduced vision. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).
Lanax Eye Drops 3 ml contains Latanoprost, and it works by increasing the natural flow of liquid from inside your eye into your bloodstream. This lowers the pressure within your eye and stops your sight from worsening.
Lanax Eye Drops 3 ml is for ophthalmic use only. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to use Lanax Eye Drops 3 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you.
