WHAT BETAGAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Betagan is an eye drop. It is used to treat GLAUCOMA by lowering the pressure that builds up in the eye. Your eyeball contains a watery liquid, which is constantly being drained out of the eye, and new liquid is made to replace this. Glaucoma can occur when the liquid does not drain out quickly enough. This leads to raised pressure within the eyeball which can eventually damage your sight. Betagan works by reducing the production of liquid. This reduces the pressure inside the eye. Betagan belongs to a group of medicines called beta blockers. 2.
