The ocular solution bimatoprost Careprost may be used to treat glaucoma. Untreated glaucoma, which causes damage to the optic nerve and eventual blindness, is defined by elevated intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye).
Careprost, a prostaglandin analog, lowers intraocular pressure by boosting tear production and drainage. Careprost is used to treat glaucoma and protect the optic nerve by reducing intraocular pressure.
