Product Description:

Bimat LS Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution used to manage high eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It contains Bimatoprost (0.01%), which belongs to a class of medicines known as prostaglandin analogs. This medication helps reduce intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eye, thus preventing damage to the optic nerve and vision loss.

Formulated by Ajanta Pharma Ltd, Bimat LS Eye Drop is a low-strength version designed for long-term use with fewer side effects like eye irritation or pigmentation. It is commonly recommended for patients who are at risk of developing glaucoma or already suffering from elevated intraocular pressure.
