What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a disease that can damage the eye’s optic nerve. It usually develops when fluid pressure inside the eye (or eye pressure) slowly rises, causing high eye pressure, or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use LUMIGAN® 0.01% if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

LUMIGAN® 0.01% can cause increased brown coloring of the iris, which may be permanent. LUMIGAN® 0.01% can cause darkening of the eyelid skin and eyelashes, which may be reversible after treatment is stopped. The long-term effects of the increased dark coloring are not known.

LUMIGAN® 0.01% may slowly increase the growth and thickness of eyelashes, which is usually reversible after treatment is stopped.

Prostaglandin analogs, including bimatoprost (the active ingredient in LUMIGAN® 0.01%), have been reported to cause inflammation inside the eye and may make existing inflammation inside the eye worse.

Macular edema (swelling of the macula, the central part of the retina), including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during treatment with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution. Use caution if you use LUMIGAN® 0.01% and you don’t have your natural lens, have a torn posterior lens capsule and an artificial lens implant, or have a known risk factor for macular edema.

Avoid allowing the tip of the dispensing bottle to touch the eye, anything around the eye, fingers, or any other surface to avoid contamination by common bacteria known to cause eye infections (bacterial keratitis). Using contaminated solutions can cause serious damage to the eye and loss of vision.

If you have eye surgery, eye trauma, or infection, or develop any eye reactions, immediately consult with your physician about continuing the use of LUMIGAN® 0.01%.

LUMIGAN® 0.01% contains an ingredient that may be absorbed by and cause discoloration of soft contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using LUMIGAN® 0.01%. Then wait 15 minutes after using LUMIGAN® 0.01% before you put your contacts back into your eyes.

If you use more than one drug in the eye, be sure to wait at least 5 minutes between each drug application.
