Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution
Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution is a prescription eye drop used to lower elevated intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing eye pressure and protecting the optic nerve from damage.
