Quick Tips
Dorzina 2% Eye Drop helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduce the risk of vision loss. Put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s). Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. This minimizes the risk of side effects. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface or to your eye to avoid contaminating the eye drops. Remove contact lenses before using Dorzina 2% Eye Drop and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them. When applying multiple eye medications, wait for at least 5-15 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution of the medicine.
