Luminor Eye Drop 0.03% contains Brimonidine Tartrate, an ophthalmic antihypertensive agent used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It helps protect the optic nerve by lowering eye pressure and reducing the risk of vision loss.
This sterile eye drop is commonly used as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-glaucoma medications.
