• Gently squeeze it so that a drop falls into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye.
• Gently close the eyes for a few minutes.
• The inner corner of the eye may be blocked for some time by pressing a finger against it to prevent the eyedrop from draining into the nose.
• Replace the cap and wash your hands again.
• Contact lenses should be removed before putting most eye drops and should be replaced after a minimum of 10 –15 minutes.(5^✔ ✔Trusted Source
