About Bimat (With Brush) 3 ml. (0.03%)
Bimat is a treatment for Open Angle Glaucoma that lowers the pressure inside the eye and, interestingly, makes eyelashes grow faster.
Bimatoprost is the primary ingredient in this eye drop.
Ajanta Pharmaceuticals is the manufacturer of Bimat.
Bimat (With Brush) 3 ml. (0.03%) comes with highly positive reviews and is a recommended medication for Open Angle Glaucoma.
Usage
3 ml solution of Bimat is used in the following conditions:
Open-Angle Glaucoma
Open-Angle Glaucoma is the most common, painless eye condition that can lead to permanent blindness and loss of vision.
In Open-Angle Glaucoma, the pressure inside the eye grows alarmingly, causing vision loss.
By lowering the pressure inside the eye, the Bimat solution helps treat Open-Angle Glaucoma.
Ocular Hypertension
When the eye makes too much fluid, pressure builds up, causing Intraocular pressure to rise. This can lead to Glaucoma in the long run.
Hypotrichosis of eyelashes
Hypotrichosis is when hair growth slows down or falls out in the area near the eye.
Bimat eye drops have been shown to help repair hair around the eyes, mainly for people who use eyelashes.
Working
Bimatoprost is used as an active ingredient in eye drops. It is a Prostaglandin analog.
This eye drop works to clear out blocked drains in the eye area. It also helps the eyelashes grow longer.
Because of this, the extra fluid in the eye's inner space is let out, which decreases intraocular pressure.
Bimatoprost, the primary ingredient, is a salt that the FDA approves.
How to use it
Care should be taken to put the drops in one eye at a time.
