Directions 
Do not shake. Wash your hands before use. Remove cap from the eye drop bottle and tilt your head back. Look up towards the ceiling and use your finger to gently pull down the lower eyelid of the affected eye to create a small pocket for the drops. With the other hand, hold the eye drop bottle upside down with the tip just above the pocket. Make sure the dropper tip doesn’t touch the eye or skin to keep it sterile. Gently squeeze the bottle and instill the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. Close your eye and apply light pressure to the inner corner of the eye using your index finger for 2 minutes, then you may open your eye. Close the bottle tightly and return the eye drops to the refrigerator. Note if administering other eye drop medications, be sure to separate each type of eye drop by 5-10 minutes to allow for adequate contact time of medication. Administer missed dose as soon as you remember unless it is closer to the time of when the next dose is due than the time since the missed dose. Do not double up on doses.
