| To instill an eyedrop: |
|
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Sit down, lean back, tilt your head back, and look up toward your forehead.
- With the index finger of one hand, pull down the lower eyelid to make a pocket for the drop.
- Hold the bottle over the eye between the thumb and index finger of the other hand and invert it with the tip pointed down at a slight angle.
- Carefully squeeze the bottle to release a single drop into your eyes. Follow your doctor’s directions exactly for the number of drops to use.
- After administering eyedrops, you may want to close your eyes for a few minutes to help distribute the medicine evenly.
- Sometimes eyedrops may drip down the tear duct into the throat. If this is bothersome, you can try applying pressure with your index finger to the inner corner of your eye for a few seconds after you’ve used the eyedrops.
