Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to nerve fibers and the optic nerve, leading to the loss of the visual field. The main risk factor is increased intraocular pressure, which is why Glaucoma is often referred to as “high eye pressure”.¹ Various studies have shown that preserved glaucoma medications can lead to additional complaints, such as dry eyes.² That's why we made unpreserved eye drops available for the treatment of glaucoma. These are intended to lower the eye pressure.
