Brimopress Eye Drop is used to treat ocular hypertension (pressure in the eye) and glaucoma, helping to lower high pressure in the eye and reduce the risk of vision loss. Brimopress Eye Drop is a sympathomimetic used to treat ocular hypertension and glaucoma. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour, thereby lowering increased eye pressure. This medicine may be used alone or in combination with another eye drop that reduces pressure in the eye. For best results, use it daily in the evening or at night. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the medication. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface as it may contaminate the eye drop.
