Betoptic 0.5% Eyedrop x 5ml

If you’re dealing with high eye pressure or conditions like glaucoma, Betoptic 0.5% Eyedrop (5ml) might be the solution for you. This prescription eye drop helps lower pressure inside the eye, preventing further damage.

What is Betoptic 0.5% Eyedrop Used For?

Betoptic 0.5% is primarily used to treat:

Ocular hypertension – This is high pressure in the eye that can lead to vision problems if left untreated.
Open-angle glaucoma – A condition that increases eye pressure and can cause permanent vision loss if not managed properly.
By reducing pressure inside the eye, Betoptic helps prevent long-term damage to your vision.

Betoptic 0.5% Eyedrop Active Ingredient & How It Works

The active ingredient in Betoptic 0.5% is Betaxolol Hydrochloride (0.5%), which belongs to a class of drugs called beta-blockers. It works by reducing the production of fluid inside the eye, which lowers intraocular pressure (IOP). Less fluid means less pressure, helping protect your optic nerve from damage.

How to Use Betoptic 0.5% Eyedrop

The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily (morning and evening).
Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid, and gently squeeze one drop of Betoptic eye drop into the eye.
Close your eye for a minute and press lightly on the inner corner to prevent drainage.
Avoid touching the Betoptic eye dropper tip to prevent contamination.
Important Tips:
Use the Betoptic eye drops regularly for the best results.
Do not stop using them without speaking with your doctor.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the Betoptic eye drops and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them.

How Quickly Does Betoptic Work?

Betoptic starts working within 30 minutes of application, with maximum effect seen in about 2 hours. However, to fully control eye pressure, continuous use is needed as prescribed.
