Introduction
Ocudor Eye Drop is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. It is used to reduce pressure in the eyes, which can be caused by or lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. Never use Ocudor Eye Drop if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it and shake the bottle well before each use. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. Do not stop using this medicine without asking your doctor. Otherwise, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled and this could damage your sight.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

Quick Tips
Ocudor 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 Ocudor 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.
