Brinzolamide Accord
Brinzolamide Accord eye drops help lower pressure inside your eye to prevent glaucoma and vision damage.

Method
Wash your hands. Shake the bottle and open the cap. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a small pocket. Drop one drop into this pocket. Do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye. Close your eye and press the inner corner of your eye towards your nose for one minute. Repeat for the other eye if needed. Close the cap immediately after use.
