• Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution is a medicine used to reduce pressure in the eyes in adults with glaucoma and high pressure in the eye. If the pressure in your eye is too high it can damage your sight, potentially leading to blindness. It works by helping fluid flow from inside the eye into the blood.
• Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution 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. Make sure you remove contact lenses you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back.
• The most common side effects of this medicine include conjunctival hyperemia and eye itching. If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor. They 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.

Quick Tips for Using Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution

• Lumigan 0.01% helps lower intraocular pressure, reducing the risk of vision loss from glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) once a day, in the evening or at night.
• Lumigan may cause permanent brown pigmentation of the iris and darkening of eyelid skin. Your eyelashes may also become thicker. These changes should reverse once you stop using the medication.
• If using other eye medications, wait 5-10 minutes between applications in the same eye to avoid dilution.
• After applying the drop, gently press the corner of your eye (near the nose) for about 1 minute to prevent the medicine from draining out.
• Once opened, use the solution within 4 weeks for best results.
