Description:

Dorfort 2% Eye Drop is a medicine used to reduce pressure in the eyes. This pressure can be caused by or lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high it can damage your sight. Dorfort 2% Eye Drop works by decreasing the amount of fluid inside the eye.

Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. Do not stop using this medicine without asking your doctor. Otherwise, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled and this could damage your sight.

The most common side effects of Dorfort 2% Eye Drop are stinging and burning sensation, blurred vision, eyelid inflammation, and bitter taste in your mouth.
