• Open the cap of the dropper... Be careful not to let the tip of the dropper touch any surface.
• Lie down or tilt your head back....then pull your lower eyelid down to create a bag-like space between the eyelid and the eyeball.
• Keep the tip of the dropper close to the eye... but avoid contact with the eye.
• Look up and pour the drop into the bag created in the lower eyelid.
• Close your eyes and stay in this position for a few seconds.
• Press the inner corner of the eye gently with your finger so that the medicine does not come out.
• Close the drop cap and put it in the right place.
