9 PM Eye Drop is a medicine used to reduce pressure in the eyes in people with glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eye). 9 PM Eye Drop is suitable for adults and children and can be used by itself or in combination with other eye medicines to reduce pressure. Follow the instructions given by your doctor and use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit. If you stop using it, pressure in the eye could increase and damage your sight. Never use a bottle if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. If you wear contact lenses, make sure you remove them before instilling and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. The most common side effects include eyelashes changes, eye pain and sensitivity to light. It may also cause blurred vision, dryness in the eye, a gradual change in color of the eye, and other rare effects. If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may be able to tell you ways of reducing or preventing some side effects or suggest another treatment. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear. This is usually a short-term side effect. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant or if you are breastfeeding.
9 PM Eye Drop is a prostaglandin analogue. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
Can I use contact lenses while using 9 PM Eye Drop?
Yes, contact lenses can be used while taking 9 PM Eye Drop. However, remove your contact lenses before applying 9 PM Eye Drop. Reinsert the lenses after a 15-minute interval following eye drop application. Consult your doctor if you experience any eye irritation that persists.
Can 9 PM Eye Drop cause a change in eye color?
Continued use of 9 PM Eye Drop may lead to changes in iris color, particularly brown pigmentation. This change is more pronounced in individuals with mixed eye colors (blue-brown, grey-brown, yellow-brown, or green-brown). The change may be noticeable if applied to only one eye. These color alterations are likely to be permanent. Additionally, eyelashes might become denser and the eyelid color may darken. However, this change is typically temporary and reverts to normal after ceasing 9 PM Eye Drop use.
Can I use other eye drops along with 9 PM Eye Drop?
If you need to apply other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes before doing so. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are using as they may interfere with the effectiveness of 9 PM Eye Drop.
How long do you keep your eyes shut after using 9 PM Eye Drop?
After applying eye drops, close your eyes for at least 2-3 minutes to allow the medication to be absorbed properly and prevent any loss of medicine from running off.

How long does it take for 9 PM Eye Drop to start working?
The pressure in your eyes starts decreasing after about 3-4 hours of using 9 PM Eye Drop, and the full effect is achieved after 8-12 hours.
Can I use 9 PM Eye Drop in the morning?
