Look up, gently squeeze the bottle, and allow one drop to fall into the conjunctival sac (Figure 2). Avoid blinking, wiping your eyes, or squeezing your eyelids.
- When using eye ointments, squeeze approximately 1 cm of ointment into the conjunctival sac (from the inner corner of the eye to the outer canthus) (Figure 3). Whirl the tube to break the ointment. Avoid contact with the tip of the tube with your eyelashes and eyelid to prevent contamination.

absorbed on the surface of the eyeball. Meanwhile, use one finger or a cotton
swab to apply gentle pressure to the inner canthus for 30-60 seconds (Figure

entering your mouth or throat. Besides, it could enhance efficacy by keeping
the
medication
in the eye longer.
