HOW TO PUT IN EYE DROPS PROPERLY?
Step 1: Wash your hands, your nails well to avoid red eyes
Step 2: Don’t touch inside the lid to avoid penetration of bacteria.
Step 3: Turn your head back to avoid the drop run into your tear duct and down your nose. Which wastes the drug and causes side effects. Feel burning after put in eye drop means you do the wrong way.
Step 4: Pull down the puffiness of the eye, and start to insert the drops. Not small continuously. But only 1 drop only. Because if you drip continuously, it will only cause the medicine to overflow. Such a waste of medicine.
Step 5: Slowly close your eyes, don't blink. Use fingers to stop the tear duct to avoid it flow down. Wait for the medication gets into the eye.
If you need many drops, repeat step 4. Wait for the medicine to dissolve, then continue to add it.
NOTE: Remove contact lenses before instilling to help the eye absorb the drop better.
