Quick Tips
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface or to your eye to avoid contaminating the eye drops. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
