• Proper Application Method: Lean the head back, gently pull down the bottom lid to create a small pocket, and carefully place the required number of drops inside.
• Avoid Contamination: Keep the tip of the bottle away from the eye or any other surfaces to ensure the liquid stays clean and germ-free.
• Post-Application Care: Hold the eye closed gently for a couple of minutes and use a finger to apply slight pressure to the inner corner near the nose.
