How BrandName works 

BrandName works by reducing the amount of fluid (aqueous humor) in the eyes. In conditions like glaucoma or ocular hypertension, too much fluid builds up leading to increased eye pressure that can damage the optic nerve and affect the vision. BrandName blocks an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase, which helps the eyes to produce this fluid. By lowering the fluid production, it reduces eye pressure, helps protect the optic nerve, and prevents vision loss.
