I forgot to take my lumigan eye drops for months. will this affect me?

YES: these drops are to control the pressure IN your eyes and lowers the pressure in patients with GLAUCOMA (elevated pressure)...IF you were given this medication for that problem see your EYE health Professional and have the pressure measured before starting again... Uncontrolled glaucoma can result in vision loss!! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Exam please: Lumigan decreases pressure in the eye by increasing the amount of fluid which drains from the eye. Certain types of glaucoma and other causes of high pressure in the eye are treated with Lumigan. Damage the optic nerve, which is vital to good vision, may occur from high pressure in the eye. Please make an appointment to see your ophthalmologist (eye doctor) to check your eyes & dose of Lumigan.
