Travatan (generic name: travoprost) can be prescribed to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, two conditions marked by increased pressure within the eye. Left untreated, this pressure – known as intraocular pressure (IOP) – can gradually damage the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss. Travatan helps lower IOP, reducing this risk and preserving visual function.
Travoprost is part of the prostaglandin analog class. It works by enhancing the natural drainage of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye) via the uveoscleral pathway. This mechanism makes it effective in decreasing IOP over time, especially in chronic conditions requiring long-term management.
Travatan is not a cure for glaucoma but helps prevent progression by maintaining healthier eye pressure levels. Continued, consistent use is essential for effectiveness.
This medication is suitable for adults and may be used alone or in combination with other IOP-lowering agents.
It is important to follow the dosage instructions printed on the label of the box. Check with a doctor or pharmacist if there are any doubts regarding the proper dosage and treatment regimen.
One drop is applied into the affected eye once daily, preferably in the evening.
Do not exceed one dose per day. Extra doses can reduce the medicine’s effectiveness.
Administer the drop at the same time each day for optimal results.
If other eye drops are being used, wait at least 5 minutes before applying them.
Remove contact lenses before use. They can be reinserted 15 minutes after applying Travatan.
To apply: wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place one drop in the eye without touching the dropper to any surface.
If a dose is missed, skip it and continue with the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Travatan is for ophthalmic use only and should not be swallowed.
Store at 15–25 °C (59–77 °F) in a dry place.
Protect from direct light and do not freeze.
Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Most people who use Travatan do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.
Common side effects:
Eye redness
Itching or irritation
Eyelash changes (length, thickness), skin darkening around the eyelids or darkening of the iris. These effects may persist after treatment ends.
Serious side effects requiring immediate attention:
Eye pain, swelling, or blurred vision
Cautions
Not all side effects are listed here. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.
Travatan is approved to treat:
Open-angle glaucoma
Ocular hypertension
These conditions involve elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which increases the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss if not properly managed.
Common symptoms of open-angle glaucoma include:
Gradual loss of side (peripheral) vision
Blurred vision in late stages
Difficulty seeing in low light
Common symptoms of ocular hypertension include:
Elevated IOP without visible signs
Detected only during routine eye exams
No immediate discomfort or pain
Travoprost helps reduce IOP, thereby slowing or preventing disease progression. It is typically used as a long-term treatment and may be combined with other medications if additional pressure reduction is needed.
Although primarily approved for these conditions, some reports mention off-label use in post-surgical glaucoma care. However, such uses should only be guided by an eye care specialist. Patients must attend regular checkups to monitor treatment effectiveness and eye pressure.
