ZIOPTAN is a New Preservative-Free Glaucoma Medicine

FDA Approves a New, Effective Glaucoma Medicine The first preservative free prostaglandin ophthalmic solution eye drop medicine used to treat glaucoma has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The new preservative free glaucoma medicine is known as ZIOPTAN™ (tafluprost ophthalmic solution 0.0015%). ZIOPTAN (pronounced zye-OP-tan), distributed by Merck (NYSE: MRK) is approved for reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma, the most common type of glaucoma. ZIOPTAN is one of several prescription eye drops in a category called prostaglandin analogs. Other medicines in this glaucoma treatment category include Travatan Z, Lumigan and Xalatan. A prostaglandin analog is typically the first type of medicine prescribed by an eye doctor in the treatment of open angle glaucoma. The significance of Zioptan is that it is the first and only preservative free prostaglandin analog. It is often believed that preservatives in the eye drops can possibly cause side effects that cause problems with the outer ocular surface such as the cornea and conjunctiva. ZIOPTAN and other Prostaglandin Glaucoma Medicines are Considered the Most Potent Eye Drops for Lowering Intraocular Pressure

Who is the Best Option for You?

If you are looking for eye care, Lakeway has a great selection to choose from. Of course, sometimes having a large selection in a short driving distance can work against you since you have to narrow down your options to make a decision. Which doctor is best for you and your family? Do you even know what to look for in a provider? Well, ideally you will choose a facility with eye doctors who are qualified to provide an array of services. It is also a good idea to pick one who doesn’t work on commission and an eye doctor that doesn’t derive income from the sale of eyeglasses or contact lenses. This way, you can feel confident knowing that you are getting prescribed exactly what you need and no one is going to try to guilt you into purchasing those extra expensive frames or a certain brand of contacts that mean more income for the doctor!
