Use your eye drops the right way

This article illustrates the right way to use your eye drops.

1	Wash your hands with soap and water before you apply the eye drops.
2	Read the instructions on the label.
3	Shake the bottle before using the medication.
4	Remove the seal.
5	Sit with your head tilted backward and look up.
6	Using a finger, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket.
7	Hold the bottle with the dropper as close to the eye as possible. Avoid touching the eye with the dropper.
8	Apply one drop into the eye. Replace the eye drops cap after each use.
9	Place your finger against the inner corner of your eye for 1 minute. This prevents medication from entering the tear duct.
10	Close your eye gently and minimise blinking. Do not rub your eyes. Wipe off any excess drops around the eye with a tissue.
11	If you have to apply 2 different types of eye drops at the same time, apply the second eye drop 5 minutes after applying the first. This allows the two different eye drops to work better.

Store this medicine correctly.
	Store in a cool, dry place.
	Keep the medicine out of the reach of children.
	Do not keep expired medicines or medicines that are no longer needed. Discard your eye drops 30 days after opening.
