What is the most important information I should know about pilocarpine ophthalmic?
 |
Do not touch the dropper or tube opening to any surface, including your eyes or hands. The dropper or tube opening is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in your eye. |
Apply light pressure to the inside corner of your eye (near your nose) after each drop to prevent the fluid from draining down your tear duct.
 |
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities at night or in poor light. Pilocarpine ophthalmic may cause decreased vision in poor light. If you experience decreased vision, avoid these activities. |
