Why Choose
While not used for cosmetic procedures, Timolol 0.5% Eye Drops may be chosen by aesthetic prescribers because:
-
Patients undergoing aesthetic consultations may have untreated or poorly controlled ocular hypertension.
-
Comprehensive care improves patient safety and clinical professionalism.
-
Recognising and supporting management of eye conditions strengthens patient trust and continuity of care.
-
Prescribers operating hybrid aesthetic-medical clinics benefit from a complete range of essential medicines.
Common Uses
Aesthetics prescribers may encounter Timolol 0.5% in situations such as:
-
Patients presenting with unmanaged or ongoing ocular hypertension
-
Pre-existing glaucoma identified during medical history taking
-
Patients attending aesthetic review who require ongoing ophthalmic medication
-
Holistic patient management where ocular symptoms arise unrelated to aesthetic treatments
How It Works
Timolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocker that works by:
1. Reducing Aqueous Humour Production
Timolol decreases the amount of fluid produced within the eye, lowering pressure inside the anterior chamber.
2. Lowering Intraocular Pressure (IOP)
By slowing fluid production, pressure within the eye reduces, helping prevent optic nerve damage.
3. Maintaining Long-Term Stability
Consistent use under medical supervision helps stabilise IOP in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
