Timol 0.5% Eye Drop is a medication prescribed to treat elevated intraocular pressure, which refers to high pressure inside the eye. It is commonly used in individuals with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma to reduce the risk of vision loss associated with these conditions. The mechanism of action involves reducing eye pressure by decreasing the production of fluid.

To use Timol 0.5% Eye Drops, it is important to wash your hands before application. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the number of drops to use.

If you are using other eye medications as well, allow a 10-minute interval between applications. Refer to the accompanying leaflet for detailed instructions on how to use the drops effectively and derive the maximum benefit. Avoid touching the dropper tip with any surface to prevent potential infections.
