Timford Eye Drop

Introduction

Timford Eye Drop contains Timolol (0.5% w/v), a non-selective beta-blocker used for the treatment of conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing intraocular pressure, Timford helps prevent optic nerve damage, thereby preserving vision and managing high eye pressure effectively.

Timolol, the active ingredient in Timford Eye Drop, works by blocking beta receptors in the eye. This reduces the production of aqueous humor, leading to a decrease in intraocular pressure. The result is improved eye health and a reduced risk of optic nerve damage.
