🧬 What is Optipres Eye Drop (Betaxolol)?

Optipres Eye Drop, produced by Cipla Limited, is a beta-1 selective adrenergic receptor blocker formulated for ophthalmic use. It’s primarily used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT) by lowering elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which is a major risk factor for optic nerve damage and vision loss.

The active ingredient Betaxolol works by reducing the production of aqueous humor within the eye. Compared to non-selective beta-blockers, Betaxolol poses fewer risks for patients with respiratory issues like asthma or COPD, making it a safer alternative for long-term glaucoma management.

This clear, sterile solution is typically applied twice daily and is suitable for both newly diagnosed patients and those requiring adjunctive therapy with other IOP-lowering medications.
