Overview Lacoma PF Eye Drop BAK Free

Opthalmic solution, Lacoma PF (preservative-free), lowers intraocular pressure in adults and children with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Elevated eye pressure can harm vision, potentially causing blindness. This medication facilitates aqueous humor outflow, reducing pressure. Lacoma PF may be used alone or with other eye drops. Consistent use, as directed by your physician, is crucial for optimal effect; discontinuation can raise intraocular pressure and impair vision. Discard any bottle with a compromised seal. Remove contact lenses before administration; reinsert after at least 15 minutes. Common side effects include altered eyelashes, eye discomfort, photosensitivity, blurred vision, dryness, and possible gradual iris color change, along with rarer occurrences. Report any adverse reactions to your doctor, who can advise on management or alternative therapies. Avoid driving if vision is blurred or altered until it clears (usually temporary). Do not use during pregnancy, attempts to conceive, or while breastfeeding.
