If you are using this drug for glaucoma, your family doctor must check your eye pressure at regular appointments to make sure the drug is working.

If you will be using this drug for a long time, your family doctor must examine your eyes at regular appointments to make sure this drug does not cause unwanted effects.

Before you have any kind of surgery - including eye surgery, dental treat, or emergency treat , tell the medical family doctor or dentist in charge and the anesthesiologist or anesthetist - the person who puts you to sleep that you are using this drug or have using it within the past month.

These medication must not be using if an eye infection is present, or if the eye is wounded or injured. If redness, pain, or discharge develops, or if a foreign object becomes lodged in one or both eyes, or if you suffer a blow to the eye or eye area, notify your family doctor immediately.

Avoid breathing in even small amounts of carbamate- or organophosphate-type insecticides or pesticides - for example, carbaryl "Sevin ", demeton "Systox ", diazinon, malathion, parathion, ronnel "Trolene ", or TEPP. They may add to the effects of this drug. Farmers, gardeners, residents of communities undergoing insecticide or pesticide spraying or dusting, workers in plants manufacturing such products, or other people exposed to such poisons must protect themselves by wearing a mask over the nose and mouth, changing clothes frequently and washing hands often.

Make sure your vision is clear before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not able to see well . This is because:

• After you apply this drug to your eyes, your pupils may become unusually small. This may cause you to see less well at night or in dim light.
• After you begin using this drug, your vision may be blurred or there may be a change in your near or distance vision.
• The eye ointment form of this drug usually causes blurred vision for a short time after you apply it.
