The intraocular pressure (the pressure built inside the eyeball) is naturally maintained by a normally flowing liquid known as aqueous humour. If this outflow of liquid gets blocked, then aqueous pressure starts putting more pressure within the eyeball. Excessive pressure must be managed; otherwise, it can damage the optic nerve and impair vision. Doprost-T 0.004%W/V Eye Drops 3ml is a well-known medication for open-angle glaucoma that effectively reduces excessive pressure by inhibiting prostaglandin action in the eye. Prostaglandin is a naturally occurring chemical that contributes to eye dryness. Doprost-T 0.004%W/V Eye Drops 3ml functions as a synthetic prostaglandin that works similarly to natural ones by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour inside the eyeball, resulting in a decrease in intraocular pressure.
