Uses of Topin Eye Drop

  • Treatment of Uveitis
  • Treatment of Myopia
  • Cycloplegia

Benefits of Topin Eye Drop

In Treatment of Uveitis

The middle layer in the inner wall of the eye is called the uvea and any inflammation in this layer is called uveitis. This may cause sudden noticeable symptoms such as pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling etc. It may even occur after an eye procedure of surgery such as cataract surgery. Topin Eye Drop helps relieve these symptoms and improves eye health. It should be used as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.

In Treatment of Myopia

Myopia or nearsightedness is an eye disorder in which you have difficulty seeing distant objects but can see objects that are near clearly. Topin Eye Drop helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects. Use Topin Eye Drop as prescribed by your doctor.

In Cycloplegia

Cycloplegia is the temporary paralysis of the ciliary muscles in the eye, which are responsible for adjusting the lens shape to focus on objects at different distances, a process known as accommodation. When cycloplegia occurs, the eye loses its ability to accommodate or adjust its focus, resulting in a fixed state of focus typically set for distant vision. Topin Eye Drop helps induce cycloplegia, which makes it a valuable tool in various ophthalmic applications, ranging from accurate refraction assessments to the management of certain eye conditions and facilitating diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Side effects of Topin Eye Drop

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Topin

  • Stinging sensation
  • High blood pressure
  • Decreased lacrimation
  • Blurred vision
  • Photophobia

How to use Topin Eye Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

How Topin Eye Drop works

Topin Eye Drop is an anticholinergic medication. It works by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxes the muscles in your eye, allowing proper examination. It also helps reduce inflammation or swelling in the eye (uveitis or iritis). Using Topin Eye Drop dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes' focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
