Betoptic is an eye drop product made up of betaxolol (a beta blocker). We carry the generic version (Betaxolol) and the brand name version (Betoptic), both available for purchase in 0.50% bottles.

Betoptic is used by itself, or with other medications, to treat high pressure inside of the eye (open angle glaucoma) as well as other eye diseases (like ocular hypertension).Prolonged pressure in the eyes can cause one to lose their vision and go completely blind.

Betoptic works by decreasing the amount of liquid made in the eye. When there is less liquid, there is more space thus resulting in lower pressure in the eye.

  1. Ensure you have clean hands before proceeding.
  2. Tilt your head back
  3. Look upward
  4. Form a pouch by pulling down on your lower eye lid
  5. Hold dropper above eye; apply 1 drop into the pouch
  6. Look down and gently close your eyes for 1 – 2 minutes

Do this twice daily or as directed by your doctor for the best results.

Do not rinse the dropper. Replace dropper cap after each use.

Do not use other eye medication within 10 minutes of using Betoptic.
