Reus Eye Drop

Introduction

Reus Eye Drop contains Brimonidine (1.5mg), a medication used to treat conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP), which helps to prevent damage to the optic nerve and reduce the risk of vision loss. Reus Eye Drop is a crucial part of managing eye health, providing effective control of eye pressure for patients suffering from elevated intraocular pressure, ensuring long-term protection of vision.

Uses of Reus Eye Drop

Reus Eye Drop is used for:

• Reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals with open-angle glaucoma.
• Managing ocular hypertension to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision.
• Providing long-term control of eye pressure to avoid complications like vision loss.

How Reus Eye Drop works

Reus Eye Drop works by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the eye. This action decreases the production of aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye) and increases its drainage, leading to a reduction in intraocular pressure. By lowering eye pressure, Reus Eye Drop helps prevent optic nerve damage, thus reducing the risk of vision loss caused by glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Benefits of Reus Eye Drop

• Effectively lowers intraocular pressure, protecting the optic nerve.
• Prevents vision loss in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
• Provides a convenient, non-invasive method for managing eye pressure.
• Supports long-term eye health by controlling ocular hypertension.
