Treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.

As a non-selective beta-blocker, levobunolol reduces aqueous humor production in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure.

May cause side effects such as eye irritation, blurred vision, or systemic beta-blocker effects. Contraindicated in patients with asthma, COPD, or certain cardiac conditions. Regular eye pressure monitoring is recommended during treatment.
