Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying the solution. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
Instill the prescribed number of drops into this pocket. The typical dosage is one or two drops in the affected eye(s) twice daily, but always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Your prescription will specify the correct dosage for your specific condition.
After applying the drops, gently close your eyelid for about one minute. This helps the medication to distribute evenly across the eye’s surface.
Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to your eye or any other surface to maintain sterility. If you accidentally touch a surface, discard the dropper and use a new one.
If you are using multiple eye medications, wait at least five minutes between applications to avoid dilution or interaction.
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Store the solution according to the label instructions. Usually, this means refrigeration. Discard any remaining solution after the expiration date printed on the bottle.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any adverse reactions or if your symptoms do not improve within a reasonable timeframe.
