Timolol eye drops are used to treat high eye pressure caused by chronic glaucoma. They work by reducing the secretion of aqueous humor within the eye, which lowers internal pressure and reduces the risk of optic nerve damage over time.
Timolol contains an active ingredient from the beta-blocker group, which helps regulate eye pressure effectively. These drops are also used in some cases that require control of intraocular pressure after surgery. Timolol eye drops are used by placing them inside the affected eye, taking care to clean your hands and not touching the tip of the bottle to the eye to avoid the transmission of germs. You must adhere to the dose prescribed by your doctor and not stop using the medication without consulting your doctor to achieve the best results.
