Used primarily in ophthalmology, this compound effectively reduces intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension by enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. It is also widely applied to promote eyelash growth in individuals with hypotrichosis, resulting in longer, thicker, and darker lashes. Its prostaglandin analog structure allows it to act on the FP receptors in the eye, making it a key therapeutic agent in both vision preservation and cosmetic enhancement.
