Looking for a way to relieve high pressure in your eyes? Azopt Eye Drops may be just what you need! Azopt Eye Drops contain the active ingredient brinzolamide, which belongs to a group of medicines called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. This active ingredient works to reduce pressure within the eye, making Azopt an effective treatment for those with glaucoma. Glaucoma is a serious illness that can cause vision problems or even blindness if left untreated, so it’s important to take action if you think you may be at risk. Luckily, Azopt Eye Drops can help ease the pressure and protect your eyesight. Give them a try today and see the difference! Speak to your doctor or vet (in case of a dog or cat)
AZOPT eye drops are used to treat high pressure in the eye. This pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma.
If the pressure in the eye is too high, it can damage your sight.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.
It’s usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye.
Your eye contains a clear, watery liquid that feeds the inside of the eye. Liquid is constantly being drained out of the eye and new liquid is made to replace this. If the liquid cannot drain out quickly enough, the pressure inside the eye builds up. This medicine works by increasing the amount of liquid that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye. If the high pressure is not reduced, it could lead to a disease called glaucoma and eventually damage your sight.
Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it’s not diagnosed and treated early.
It can affect people of all ages, but is most common in adults in their 70s and 80s.
Glaucoma does not usually cause any symptoms to begin with.
It tends to develop slowly over many years and affects the edges of your vision (peripheral vision) first.
For this reason, many people do not realise they have glaucoma, and it’s often only picked up during a routine eye test.
If you do notice any symptoms, they might include blurred vision, or seeing rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights.
Both eyes are usually affected, although it may be worse in 1 eye.
Very occasionally, glaucoma can develop suddenly and cause:
Visit an opticians or a GP if you have any concerns about your vision.
If you have glaucoma, early diagnosis and treatment can help stop your vision getting worse.
Without treatment, glaucoma can eventually lead to blindness.
If you develop symptoms of glaucoma suddenly, go to your nearest eye casualty unit or A&E as soon as possible.
This is a medical emergency that may require immediate treatment.
There are several different types of glaucoma.
The most common is called primary open angle glaucoma. This tends to develop slowly over many years.
It’s caused by the drainage channels in the eye becoming gradually clogged over time.
Other types of glaucoma include:
acute angle closure glaucoma – an uncommon type caused by the drainage in the eye becoming suddenly blocked, which can raise the pressure inside the eye very quickly

How to use AZOPT
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or
pharmacist if you are not sure.
Only use AZOPT for your eyes. Do not swallow or inject.
The recommended dose is
1 drop in the affected eye or eyes twice a day – morning and night.
Use this much unless your doctor told you to do something different. Only use AZOPT in both eyes if your doctor told you to. Take it for as long as your doctor told you to.
Get the AZOPT bottle and a mirror
Wash your hands
Shake the bottle and twist off the cap. After the cap is removed, if the tamper evident snap collar is loose, remove before using product.
Hold the bottle, pointing down, between your thumb and middle finger
Tilt your head back. Pull down your eyelid with a clean finger, until there is a ‘pocket’ between the eyelid and your eye. The drop will go in here
Bring the bottle tip close to the eye. Use the mirror if it helps
Do not touch your eye or eyelid, surrounding areas or other surfaces with the dropper. It could infect the drops
Gently press on the base of the bottle to release one drop of AZOPT at a time.
Do not squeeze the bottle: it is designed so that a gentle press on the bottom is all that it needs
After using AZOPT, press a finger to the corner of your eye, by the nose (picture 3) for at least 1 minute. This helps to stop AZOPT getting into the rest of the body.
If you take drops in both eyes, repeat the steps for your other eye.
Put the bottle cap back on firmly immediately after use
Use up one bottle before opening the next bottle.
If a drop misses your eye, try again. If you are using other eye drops, leave at least 5 minutes between putting in AZOPT and the other drops. Eye ointments should be administered last.
If you use more AZOPT than you should
If you get too much in your eyes, rinse it all out with warm water. Do not put in any more drops until it’s time for your next regular dose.
If you forget to use AZOPT
Use a single drop as soon as you remember, and then go back to your regular routine. Do not use a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you stop using AZOPT
If you stop using AZOPT without speaking to your doctor, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled which could lead to loss of sight.
