Ganfort Eye Drops 3 ml is used alone or in combination with other drugs. Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged.

Ganfort Eye Drops 3 ml contains Bimatoprost (prostaglandin analogue) and Timolol (beta-blocker), primarily used in treating ocular hypertension (high pressure of the eye). Bimatoprost works by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) from the eye and reducing eye pressure. Timolol works by decreasing the fluid production in the eye as the increased pressure can lead to a disease called glaucoma. If the pressure is too high, it can also lead to loss of sight. Ganfort Eye Drops 3 ml should be put only in the infected eye, and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.
