Lumigan Eye Drops contain Bimatoprost 0.01%, a prostaglandin analogue used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, Lumigan helps reduce the risk of optic nerve damage and potential vision loss. It is also prescribed off-label to enhance eyelash growth for patients with eyelash hypotrichosis.
