What is Azopt Eye Drops (Brinzolamide) prescribed for?

Glaucoma is a condition that damages your eye’s optic nerve, which is the nerve that sends images to the brain. This disease eventually gets worse over time. With the increased pressure in your eye, this damages the optic nerve, and if it worsens, glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss or total blindness.

Brinzolamide, the active ingredient within the Azopt Eye Drops, is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma or other various eye diseases. By lowering the high pressure within the eye, it lowers the risk of blindness. Overall, this medication works by decreasing the amount of fluid in the eye.

Directions

Apply this medication to the affected eye. It is usually taken in form of one drop 3 times a day, or as directed by your doctor. When applying the eye drops, please wash your hands first. That way you can avoid any contamination. Do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. If you wear any contact lenses, remove them before using your eye drops. Wait atleast 15 minutes each dose before putting your lenses back in.

Tilt your head back, look upwards and pull down the lower eyelid to make it appear as a pouch. Hold the dropper directly above your eye and place one drop in each pouch. Then look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place a finer at the inner corner of your eye, near your nose, and apply a gentle pressure. Doing so will prevent any medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye.

Do not rinse the dropper, It is best to just replace the dropper cap each use.

If you use other eye medication, wait at least 10 minutes before applying other medications after the use of Azopt Eye Drops.
