Brinzox Eye Drops 5 ml is a prescription ophthalmic medication used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, both of which involve increased pressure within the eye. If left untreated, elevated eye pressure can damage the optic nerve and lead to permanent vision loss. Brinzox contains Brinzolamide, which belongs to a class of medications known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. By reducing fluid production in the eye, it helps lower intraocular pressure and protects visual function.
Uses

Benefits of Brinzox Eye Drops 5 ml
- Lowers intraocular pressure, helping reduce the risk of optic nerve damage
- Slows the progression of glaucoma, aiding in long-term vision preservation
- Minimizes discomfort caused by high eye pressure, such as pain or eye strain
- Reduces aqueous humour production, targeting the root cause of pressure build-up
- Helps prevent blindness in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension
How Brinzox Eye Drops 5 ml works
Brinzox Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brinzolamide, which works by blocking carbonic anhydrase—an enzyme needed to produce aqueous humour. This reduction in fluid formation lowers pressure within the eye. Less pressure means less stress on the optic nerve. This protects vision and slows disease progression. A single drop in the lower eyelid pocket is usually enough per dose. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface. The medicine should be used exactly as prescribed. Consistent daily use improves effectiveness.
Stopping treatment too early can reverse its benefits. Temporary blurred vision may occur after application. Patients should wait before driving or operating machinery. The eye should be kept closed for one to two minutes after instillation. Regular monitoring of eye pressure is essential during treatment. Long-term use is generally safe when used under medical supervision. Proper technique enhances drug absorption and reduces risk of contamination. Always inform your doctor of other medications or allergies.
