DIRECTIONS FOR USE: EYEDROPS

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Tilt your head backwards.
  • Place a finger just under your eye and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a V-shaped pouch
    or
    With your thumb and index finger, gently pull the lower eyelid to form a small pouch.

 

  • Looking upward, apply ONE (1) DROP in your eye. Try not to blink.
    Note:

    Do not let the applicator tip touch the eye or eyelid, since this could contaminate the eyedrops.

 

  • Gently close your eye.
  • Keeping your eye closed, gently press the inner corner of your eye (near the nose), for 1 minute. Doing this will ensure that the medication stays in contact with your eye longer, and thus is more effective.
  • If you have to apply more drops, wait a few minutes between each instillation.

Do not keep opened bottles of eyedrops for long periods of time and do not rely on the manufacturer’s expiration date on the container; the date is valid only if the container has not been opened. Always check with your pharmacist to know how long your drops are good for.
