Product Overview

Visipress is a clinically proven ophthalmic solution containing Timolol Maleate 0.5% w/v, a gold-standard medication used for reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Timolol maleate eye drops are among the most widely prescribed anti-glaucoma medicines worldwide because of their strong efficacy, rapid action, and long history of safe use. Visipress helps protect the optic nerve from pressure-related damage and plays a crucial role in preserving long-term vision.

What Are Timolol Maleate Eye Drops Used For?

Visipress timolol maleate eye drops are primarily used for:

  • Primary open-angle glaucoma

  • Ocular hypertension (high eye pressure)

  • Secondary glaucoma

  • Post-surgical control of intraocular pressure

  • Long-term management of chronic glaucoma

These drops help maintain normal eye pressure and prevent progressive vision loss.

Understanding Glaucoma and High Eye Pressure

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition where increased intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve, leading to gradual vision loss. The National Eye Institute (NIH, USA) explains that glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide and requires lifelong pressure control.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), early diagnosis and regular treatment with medications like timolol are essential to prevent permanent visual impairment.

How Timolol Maleate Eye Drops Work

Timolol belongs to the class of medicines called beta-adrenergic blockers. It lowers eye pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor (fluid) inside the eye.

Scientific literature available on PubMed Central confirms that timolol maleate effectively lowers intraocular pressure and remains one of the first-line therapies for glaucoma management.

  • Decreasing fluid production in the eye

  • Gradual loss of peripheral vision

  • Eye discomfort

  • Seeing halos around lights

The American Optometric Association emphasizes that regular eye pressure monitoring and timely use of medications like timolol are essential for protecting vision.
