What Experts Say

Travoprost is an eye drop that ophthalmologists across Pakistan prescribe for glaucoma, a condition that damages the optic nerve silently over years. Eye hospitals in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi report a steady rise in glaucoma cases linked to Pakistan's aging population, diabetes and delayed screening habits in many communities.

A single drop at night is usually enough to lower eye pressure for a full day, which makes Travson convenient for patients who struggle with multiple daily drops or forget afternoon doses during busy work schedules. Regular nightly use is essential, since glaucoma has almost no early symptoms and any vision loss it causes cannot be reversed later.

Eye specialists stress that missed doses are one of the biggest reasons glaucoma treatment fails. Routine eye pressure checks every few months, along with consistent use of Travson, give patients the best chance of protecting their remaining vision long term, especially since untreated glaucoma is a leading preventable cause of permanent blindness.
