C Pin Eye Drop effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

How should you use C Pin Eye Drop?

C Pin Eye Drop eye drops are usually instilled once or twice a day at evenly spaced intervals until the pressure in the eye is controlled (about 4 weeks).
