Benefits of 9 PM Eye Drop
In Glaucoma
9 PM Eye Drop is a medicine used to reduce pressure in your eyes (ocular hypertension). This pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. This medicine works by helping the fluid to flow from inside the eye into your bloodstream. It may be used alone or with other eye drops. Do not use it too often as that can make it less effective.

This could lead to a loss of sight.

FAQs
Can I use contact lenses while using 9 PM Eye Drop?

This change in color is likely to be permanent. Additionally, the eyelashes may also become denser and the color of the eyelids may darken. However, this is usually temporary and reverts to normal once the use of 9 PM Eye Drop is discontinued.
