Timoptic (Timolol Maleate) is an ophthalmic drop used to treat open-angle glaucoma and other cases of high pressure inside the eye (ocular hypertension). Timoptic belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. Timolol drops works by lowering the pressure in your eye. It reduces the amount of fluid that you make that fills the front part of your eye. By reducing the amount of fluid produced, it reduces the pressure within your eye. The reduction of intraocular pressure reduces the risk of damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision in patients with glaucoma or other ocular hypertension conditions.

Timoptic Directions:

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Do not use Timoptic in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Do not use this medicine while wearing contact lenses. Timoptic may contain a preservative that can discolor soft contact lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes after using this medicine before putting in your contact lenses. Wash your hands before using the eye drops. To apply the eye drops, Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down. Look up and away from the dropper and squeeze out a drop. Close your eyes for 2 or 3 minutes with your head tipped down, without blinking or squinting. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute, to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct. Use only the number of drops your doctor has prescribed. If you use more than one drop, wait about 5 minutes between drops. Wait at least 10 minutes before using any other eye drops your doctor has prescribed. Do not touch the tip of the eye dropper or place it directly on your eye. A contaminated dropper can infect your eye, which could lead to serious vision problems. It may take a few weeks before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks of treatment. If you need surgery, including eye surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Timoptic. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
