How Avatan Eye Drop works

Avatan Eye Drop is a prostaglandin analogue. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Quick Tips

For best results, put one drop once a day in the evening/night in the affected eye(s).
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop.
Avatan Eye Drop may cause brown pigmentation of the iris. This discoloration may be permanent.
Your eyelashes may become more dense and eyelid skin may darken. These changes should disappear after discontinuing Avatan Eye Drop.
Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
Avatan Eye Drop helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss.
