Ocular hypertension, Glaucoma

The intraocular pressure (the pressure built inside the eyeball) is naturally maintained by a normally flowing liquid known as aqueous humour. If this outflow of liquid gets blocked, then aqueous pressure starts putting more pressure within the eyeball. This excessive pressure needs to be controlled; otherwise, it can even damage the optic nerve and affect vision. TOVAXO EYE DROPS 2.5ML is one of the renowned medication for open-angle glaucoma that effectively reduces excessive pressure by reducing the action of prostaglandins in the eye. Prostaglandin is a naturally occurring chemical that is responsible for causing dryness in the eye. TOVAXO EYE DROPS 2.5ML acts as a synthetic prostaglandin that works similarly to natural ones and increases the drainage of aqueous humour inside the eyeball resulting in the lowering of pressure inside the eye.
