Bimat Eye Drops (Bimatoprost)

Bimat Eye Drops (Bimatoprost Opthalmic Solution) is used in patients with glaucoma to reduce intraocular pressure. Bimatoprost is also used to thicken, lengthen and darken eyelashes. This is especially useful in people with hypotrichosis of the eyelashes (where eyelashes are too short).

Bimat Eye Drops (Bimatoprost) Application

For Glaucoma: Contact lenses must be removed before application. Thoroughly wash you hands prior to use. With one hand open your eyelids and carefully apply one or two drops into your eye. Close and re-open your eye several times to spread the liquid over the surface of the eye. Repeat with your other eye if necessary.

For Eyelashes: Wash hands thoroughly before applying Bimatoprost. You will need bimatoprost applicator brushes to apply the drops to the eyelid. Carefully drop one or two drop onto the brush-end of the applicator. Run the applicator away from the eye along the length of the lashes. Each applicator should be used only once to avoid contamination, so discard this first applicator and repeat with a second applicator on your other eye.
