Aurobrime-S Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to the class of alpha-adrenergic agonists, used alone or in combination with other medicines to lower increased eye pressure in conditions such as ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged. This damaged nerve leads to an increase in eye pressure abnormally and can lead to permanent vision loss.

Aurobrime-S Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brimonidine that works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye). Thereby, Aurobrime-S Eye Drops 5 ml helps in reducing eye pressure.

• Avoid intake of baked foods such as cakes, cookies, doughnuts, or fried items such as French fries and stick margarine as these foods may worsen glaucoma and damage optic nerve.
• Cut down your coffee intake as it may increase pressure in the eye. Replace coffee with green tea.
• Avoid exercises such as any position where the head is lower than the body as an inverted yoga pose, as it may increase pressure in the eye. Doing selective exercises is advised for glaucoma patients. 

Glaucoma: Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. If it is not treated in time, it may cause blindness. Usually, there are no symptoms of glaucoma initially except the slow loss of vision gradually. However, some symptoms include visible rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights or blurred vision. Rarely, glaucoma can develop suddenly with intense pain in the eye, visual disturbance, or nausea.

Ocular hypertension: Ocular hypertension is a condition caused due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow). This leads to the build-up of excess fluid in the eye resulting in increased pressure inside the eye without any damage to the optic nerve. If ocular hypertension is not controlled, it may lead to glaucoma.
