Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop

Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine containing bimatoprost 0.03% w/v in each bottle. It belongs to the prostaglandin analogue class and is used to lower high pressure inside the eye. Doctors prescribe Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop to help treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, where reducing eye pressure can help protect vision.

How it works: Bimatoprost helps the eye drain fluid more easily, which lowers pressure inside the eye. As an eye drop, it works directly where the pressure problem is happening.

Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop is a standard ophthalmic strength of bimatoprost and is meant for people whose doctor has decided this concentration is appropriate for their eye pressure problem. Because it is already a full-strength prescription eye drop, it should not be used like a mild over-the-counter lubricant or shared with lower-strength eye medicines; a doctor chooses it based on eye pressure, response, and tolerability.

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Lowering raised eye pressure
• Helping reduce risk of optic nerve damage from high eye pressure

• Use Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop exactly as your eye doctor prescribes.
• Wash your hands before putting in the eye drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place 1 drop into the affected eye(s) only if instructed.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor gives different instructions.

Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop provides bimatoprost 0.03% per bottle, and the usual ophthalmic dose is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, often in the evening. Do not use more than 1 dose per day unless your doctor specifically tells you to, because using it more often may reduce its effect and increase side effects. Your doctor decides the exact schedule based on your eye condition and response.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Eye redness

• Itchy eyes
• Dry eyes
• Blurred vision after instilling the drop
• Darkening of the eyelid skin
• Increased eyelash length or thickness

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow Bimat 0.03% w/v Eye Drop.

• Tell your doctor if you have had eye surgery, eye inflammation, macular edema, or a history of herpes eye infection.
• Use caution if you have only one functioning eye or if your doctor monitors eye pressure closely.
• This medicine may change iris or eyelid color over time, and those changes can be permanent.
• Do not drive or operate machinery right after use if your vision is blurred.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use because preservatives in the drop may irritate the eyes.

• Other glaucoma eye drops, which may need spacing or dose adjustment
• Other prostaglandin analog eye medicines, which may increase side effects when used together
