5 things to know about using eye drops

29/03/2022

The correct order of eye drops
1. Clean your hands and dry them well.
2. Tilt your head and press gently under your eye to apply the drops without touching eyelid or eyelashes.
3. Gently press inner corner of your eye and close your eye for 1 minute.

Cautions

Use only one drop at a time
Using too many drops is a waste, as only half of the drops will slip into the eye.

 1 month after opening, they should be thrown away
Opened eye drops should only be kept for a maximum of 1 month. If you are afraid of forgetting the opening date, you can mark the bottle.

 Can be stored in the fridge
To prevent the growth of bacteria, it is a good idea to store eye drops in the fridge. If you don’t want to store them in the fridge, remember to keep them out of the sun.

Keep eye drops with different effects separate
If you need to take 2 or more eye drops with different effects, remember to take them at least 5 minutes apart. This will prevent conflicts between the effects.

Don’t wipe your eye with a tissue
Any excess eye drops can be gently blotted out with a tissue, but remember to avoid the corners of your eyes so that the tissue does not absorb the drops that have just entered your eyes.
