homatropine ophthalmic

Generic Name: homatropine ophthalmic (hoe ma TROE peen)
Brand Names: Isopto Homatropine

What is homatropine ophthalmic?

Homatropine ophthalmic causes the muscles in your eye to become relaxed. This widens your pupil. Your pupil will remain wide and will not respond to light.

Homatropine ophthalmic is used to dilate (widen) your pupil when you have an inflammatory condition or in diagnostic or postsurgery situations in which this effect may be helpful.

Homatropine ophthalmic may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about homatropine ophthalmic?

Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including your eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in your eye.

Apply light pressure to the inside corner of your eye (near your nose) for 1 to 3 minutes after each drop to prevent the medicine from draining down your tear duct.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Homatropine ophthalmic may cause blurred vision. If you experience blurred vision, avoid these activities. The effects of even one drop of this medication can last for up to 3 days. Be sure that your vision is clear before attempting any activity that could be dangerous. Homatropine ophthalmic may make your eyes more sensitive to light. Protect your eyes when you are going to be in bright light.

Tilt your head back slightly and pull down on your lower eyelid. Position the dropper above your eye. Look up and away from the dropper. Squeeze out a drop and close your eye. Apply gentle pressure to the inside corner of your eye (near your nose) for 1 to 3 minutes to prevent the liquid from draining down your tear duct. If you are using more than one drop in the same eye or drops in both eyes, repeat the process with about 5 minutes between drops.

Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including your eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in your eye.
