The fluid is called aqueous humour and is secreted and also excreted by our eyes constantly. When the excretion process becomes slow, Careprost eye drops aids. Careprost eyedrops work because they contain bimatoprost, an analogue of a prostglandin like chemical that has, including others, the caracteristic of lowering the intra ocular pressure by aiding the drainage of the aqueous humour. Thus, the intra oculare pressure is normalized and the risk of optic nerve damage is reduced dramatically.
