What is Tovaxo Eye Drop?
Tovaxo Eye Drop (Bak Free) is a sterile ophthalmic solution formulated to help lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals diagnosed with certain eye conditions, such as ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. It is supplied in a preservative-free (BAK-free) formulation, making it a suitable option for people who may be sensitive to preservatives commonly found in eye medications.
Unlike preserved eye drops, the BAK-free formulation is designed to minimize exposure to preservatives that may contribute to eye irritation or dryness during long-term treatment. The medication should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

How Tovaxo Eye Drop Works
The active ingredient in Tovaxo Eye Drop works by improving the natural drainage of aqueous humor, the fluid present inside the eye. When this fluid drains more efficiently, pressure within the eye gradually decreases.
Maintaining a healthy intraocular pressure is important because persistently high eye pressure can damage the optic nerve over time. By helping regulate fluid drainage, the medication supports long-term eye health and reduces the risk of pressure-related complications when used consistently according to medical advice.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
