Eyedrop Insertion

1. Tilt your head back.

2. Pull your lower lid away from the eye to form a "pocket" by:

Eye Drop Step 1

    A. pulling lid down with index finger

    B. pinching lid outward with thumb and index finger

3. Let the drop fall into the pocket without touching the bottle to your eye or eyelid (to prevent contamination from the bottle).

4. Close your eyes (do not blink) and apply pressure to the point where the lids meet the nose. Hold for two to three minutes. Wipe unabsorbed drops and tears from the closed lids with a tissue.

Eye Drop Step 2

5. If you need to take more than one kind of eye medication at the same time, wait three to five minutes before using the second drops.
