What is Laser eye surgery
laser eye treatment – to open up the blocked drainage tubes or reduce the production of fluid in your eyes. This is one of the treatments for Glaucoma.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.
It’s usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye.
Your eye contains a clear, watery liquid that feeds the inside of the eye. Liquid is constantly being drained out of the eye and new liquid is made to replace this. If the liquid cannot drain out quickly enough, the pressure inside the eye builds up. This medicine works by increasing the amount of liquid that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye. If the high pressure is not reduced, it could lead to a disease called glaucoma and eventually damage your sight.
Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it’s not diagnosed and treated early.
It can affect people of all ages, but is most common in adults in their 70s and 80s.
Glaucoma does not usually cause any symptoms to begin with.
It tends to develop slowly over many years and affects the edges of your vision (peripheral vision) first.
For this reason, many people do not realise they have glaucoma, and it’s often only picked up during a routine eye test.
If you do notice any symptoms, they might include blurred vision, or seeing rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights.
Both eyes are usually affected, although it may be worse in 1 eye.
Very occasionally, glaucoma can develop suddenly and cause:
Visit an opticians or a GP if you have any concerns about your vision.
If you have glaucoma, early diagnosis and treatment can help stop your vision getting worse.
Without treatment, glaucoma can eventually lead to blindness.
If you develop symptoms of glaucoma suddenly, go to your nearest eye casualty unit or A&E as soon as possible.
This is a medical emergency that may require immediate treatment.
There are several different types of glaucoma.
The most common is called primary open angle glaucoma. This tends to develop slowly over many years.
It’s caused by the drainage channels in the eye becoming gradually clogged over time.
Other types of glaucoma include:
- acute angle closure glaucoma – an uncommon type caused by the drainage in the eye becoming suddenly blocked, which can raise the pressure inside the eye very quickly
- secondary glaucoma – caused by an underlying eye condition, such as inflammation of the eye (uveitis)
- childhood glaucoma (congenital glaucoma) – a rare type that occurs in very young children, caused by an abnormality of the eye
Glaucoma can occur for a number of reasons.
Most cases are caused by a build-up of pressure in the eye when fluid is unable to drain properly.
This increase in pressure then damages the nerve that connects the eye to the brain (optic nerve).
It’s often unclear why this happens, although certain things can increase the risk, including:
- your age – glaucoma becomes more common as you get older
- your ethnicity – people of African, Caribbean or Asian origin are at a higher risk
- your family history – you’re more likely to develop glaucoma if you have a parent or sibling with the condition
- other medical conditions – such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness and diabetes
It’s not clear whether you can do anything to prevent glaucoma, but having regular eye tests should pick it up as early as possible.
The treatment recommended for you will depend on the type of glaucoma you have, but the options are:
- eyedrops – to reduce the pressure in your eyes
- laser treatment – to open up the blocked drainage tubes or reduce the production of fluid in your eyes
- surgery – to improve the drainage of fluid
You’ll also probably need regular appointments to monitor your condition and check the treatment is working.

IOPIDINE
How To Use
How To Use
Adults and elderly
IOPIDINE comes in a specially designed container which can be used only once. Your doctor will put
in one drop 1 hour before your laser surgery and another drop immediately after surgery.
3
After being given IOPIDINE, you will be instructed to press a finger to the corner of your eye, by your
nose. This helps to stop IOPIDINE getting into the rest of the body.
If more than one ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the medicines must be administered at
least 5 minutes apart. Eye ointments should be administered last.
Children
This medicine is not for use in children
Product Details
Before you are given IOPIDINE
This medicine may not be suitable for you. If it is not suitable your doctor may want to give you
another medicine so it is important you check all of the points below:
IOPIDINE will not be used
* in children (this medicine is not for anyone under the age of 18);
** If you are allergic to clonidine, apraclonidine or any of the ingredients listed in the “Other
ingredients” section of this leaflet (section 6)
* if you have a history of any severe or unstable and uncontrolled heart disease (including chest
pain, angina, heart attacks or heart failure);
* if you are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressants
If you think any of the above conditions apply to you or if you are not sure, talk to your doctor first.
Special care will be taken using IOPIDINE.
Ask your doctor for advice if:
* you suffer from, or are taking medication for:
– heart disease (including chest pain, angina, heart attacks or heart failure;
– high blood pressure;
– circulatory problems (including stroke, Raynaud’s disease or Buerger’s disease);
– vasovagal attacks (fainting spells);
– reduced kidney or liver function;
2
If any of the above apply to you, you may be at greater risk for effects on your heart or circulatory
system so your blood pressure and heart rate will be closely monitored.
* you suffer from depression, as medicines like clonidine have been associated with depression;
* you suffer from diabetes or low blood sugar, as this medicine may hide the signs and symptoms
of a sudden reduction in blood sugar such as a fast heartbeat or trembling;
* you regularly drink alcohol, as IOPIDINE may increase its effect;
* you have had an extreme response to other medicines that lower the pressure inside your eye,
so your eye pressure should be monitored closely;
If any of the above applies to you, or if you are not sure, talk to your doctor first.
Using other medicines
IOPIDINE will not be used
* if you are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (used to treat depression) e.g. phenelzine,
isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine, moclobemide
* if you are taking tricyclic antidepressants (often used to treat depression) e.g. amitriptyline,
imipramine, doxepin, mianserin, trazodone, dosulepin, lofepramine;
* if you are currently using medicines containing sympathomimetic agents.
These agents are used to treat many diseases, including asthma e.g. salbutamol, terbutaline,
bambuterol, Parkinson’s disease and heart disease and also may be present in cough and cold
remedies.
Special care will be taken using IOPIDINE
* if you are using eye drops to treat glaucoma which contain sympathomimetics e.g.
phenylephrine, brimonidine, dipivefrine as your blood pressure may increase; or
* if you are taking sleeping tablets, sedatives or painkillers, as IOPIDINE may increase their
effects;
* if you are taking or have taken neuroleptics (major tranquillisers used to treat some forms of
mental illness e.g. chlorpromazine, flupentixol, haloperidol) as your blood pressure could become
too low;
When there might be effects on your blood pressure then your blood pressure and heart rate will be
closely monitored.
Discuss any medicines you are taking with your doctor before you are given IOPIDINE, including
medicines obtained without a prescription.
Using IOPIDINE with food and drink
IOPIDINE should be used with caution if you regularly drink alcohol or have recently drunk alcohol.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Iopidine should not be used if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding,
Your doctor should have discussed this with you. If not, ask your doctor for advice before taking any
medicine.
Driving and using machines
This type of medicine may cause you to feel sleepy. If you are affected, do not drive or use any tools or machines.
