How to Use Eye Drops: Step-By-Step Instructions
Using Eye Drops Properly:
Wash your hands before handling the eye drops.
Tilt your head back and look up.
Pull down your lower eyelid to create a pocket and hold the dropper above your eye.
Squeeze one drop into the pocket and close your eye for 1-2 minutes.
Gently press on the inside corner of your eye with a clean tissue or finger to stop any liquid from draining down your tear duct.
Repeat steps 3-5 for the other eye, if necessary.
