Lumigan Eyedrops, also known as bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It is a synthetic prostamide analog that works by regulating the flow of fluid within the eye to maintain normal pressure. Lumigan Eyedrops can be used as first-line therapy or as adjunctive therapy to topical beta-blockers.
In addition to its use in glaucoma and ocular hypertension, Lumigan Eyedrops are also used to improve the fullness, length, and color of the eyelashes in people with a condition called hypotrichosis, which is a lack of eyelash growth.

Common Side Effects:
Not everyone will experience these side effects, and there may be other less common or rare side effects associated with Lumigan Eyedrops. If you have any concerns or questions about the side effects of Lumigan, consult your healthcare provider for further information and guidance.
Lumigan may cause a gradual change in the color of your eyes, eyelids, and eyelashes. This change, usually an increase in brown pigment, occurs slowly and may not be noticeable for months or even years. Lumigan may also lead to increased growth or thickness of your eyelashes.
Inform your healthcare provider about all prescription and over-the-counter medications you are using, including vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other healthcare providers. Lumigan should be used only when prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Before starting treatment with Lumigan, patients should be informed about the possibility of prostamide analog periorbitopathy (PAP) and increased iris pigmentation. These changes have been observed during treatment with Lumigan and may be permanent, potentially leading to impaired field of vision and differences in appearance between the eyes when only one eye is treated.
Cystoid macular edema has been uncommonly reported following treatment with Lumigan Eyedrops. If you experience any changes in vision or other eye-related symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.
This is not an exhaustive list of warnings and precautions associated with Lumigan Eyedrops. For a comprehensive understanding of the warnings and precautions, consult the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist or talk to your healthcare provider.
