About Dornim-T Eye Drops 5 ml

Dornim-T Eye Drops 5 ml is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Dornim-T Eye Drops 5 ml is generally used when no other medication effectively treats glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Dornim-T Eye Drops 5 ml contains Dorzolamide and Timolol. Dorzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and Timolol is a topical beta-blocker. Both help decrease the secretion of aqueous humour (natural fluid present in the eye) by the eye's ciliary body, thereby causing a decrease in eye pressure.

Most of these side effects of Dornim-T Eye Drops 5 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Using Dornim-T Eye Drops 5 ml during breastfeeding is unsafe since Timolol can pass into breast milk and harm a nursing baby.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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. Glaucoma can lead to vision loss if not diagnosed and treated early.

Open-angle glaucoma: Open-angle glaucoma is a life-long condition and the most common type of glaucoma. It is caused by the clogging of the drainage angle between the iris and cornea, which leads to the blockage of eye fluid and increases eye pressure.

Ocular hypertension: Ocular hypertension is the building up of pressure in the eye caused by poor drainage of the aqueous humour (fluid inside the eye that maintains normal pressure).
