Holding the eye drops in your other hand, bring the dropper close to the eye and squeeze one drop into the sac
Close the eye and blot excess solution with a clean tissue
Replace the cap of the eye drops immediately after use

How to use Eye Ointment

A small amount of ointment should be squeezed out and discarded immediately before every application to ensure sterility
If both eyes are infected you should use a separate tube of ointment for each eye
Discard eye ointment after one month

Application

With head in fairly upright position, gently pull down the lower lid with one finger to form a sac

Squeeze a half inch ribbon of ointment into the sac formed
Close the eye and very gently massage with a tissue to spread the ointment
