Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, and Quebec City's ageing population faces growing burden from open-angle glaucoma requiring long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) management. Lumigan (Bimatoprost 0.01%) effectively reduces IOP through dual mechanisms, with generic Bimatoprost from Unnati Pharmax offering equivalent benefit at reduced cost for Quebec patients.
Bimatoprost reduces IOP by enhancing both the uveoscleral and trabecular outflow pathways for aqueous humour — a dual mechanism producing average IOP reductions of 28-33% from baseline. It's administered once daily in the evening, which clinical studies found more effective than morning dosing. Quebec City's ophthalmology clinics at CHU de Québec manage hundreds of glaucoma patients requiring consistent long-term therapy to prevent progressive optic nerve damage.
For Quebec City patients not fully covered by RAMQ PharmaCare for branded Lumigan, generic Bimatoprost offers meaningful monthly savings. Visit medshopy.com or WhatsApp +91 82650 41513.

Why must glaucoma eye drops be taken every day even when there are no symptoms?Glaucoma is known as the "silent thief of sight" because it causes no pain and vision loss is so gradual that patients often don't notice it until significant irreversible damage has occurred. IOP-lowering drops like Lumigan work preventively — they reduce pressure to stop further nerve damage from occurring, but they cannot reverse damage already done. Missing doses allows IOP to rise again, potentially causing additional optic nerve damage each time. This is why consistent daily use is absolutely critical, even when patients feel completely normal and can see clearly, as the damage accumulates silently and invisibly over years
