About Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml

Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml belongs to 'ophthalmic medication' used to treat raised pressure in the eye in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml is also used to prevent postoperative elevated IOP associated with laser surgery and the induction of miosis (excessive constriction (shrinking) of the eye's pupil). Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the eye's pressure is higher than normal due to poor drainage of the aqueous humour (fluid inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye. If this condition is left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
