WHAT ALPHAGAN
® P
1.5 EYE DROPS ARE USED
FOR
ALPHAGAN P 1.5 eye drops are
used to lower raised pressure in the
eye and to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma
is a condition in which the pressure
of fluid in the eye may be high.
However, some people with
glaucoma may have normal eye
pressure.
Glaucoma is usually caused by a
build up of the fluid which flows
through the eye. This build up occurs
because the fluid drains out of your
eye more slowly than it is being
pumped in. Since new fluid continues
to enter the eye joining the fluid
already there, the pressure continues
to rise. This raised pressure may
damage the back of the eye resulting
in gradual loss of sight.
Eye damage can progress so slowly
that the person is not aware of this
gradual loss of sight. Sometimes
even normal eye pressure is
associated with damage to the back
of the eye.
There are usually no symptoms of
glaucoma. The only way of knowing
that you have glaucoma is to have
your eye pressure, optic nerve and
visual field checked by an eye
specialist or optometrist.
If glaucoma is not treated it can lead
to serious problems, including total
blindness. In fact, untreated
glaucoma is one of the most common
causes of blindness.
ALPHAGAN P 1.5 eye drops lower
the pressure in the eye by decreasing
the fluid produced and helping the
flow of fluid out of
