Tips on how to put eye drops

Clean your hands before putting eye drops
Lie down and look towards the ceiling
If you are putting drops on your own,then gently push down the lower part of eye down and then press the dropper to let drop get into the eye.Be sure tip of the dropper does not touch the eye.
If two different eye drops are prescribed, keep a gap of 5 minutes between the two.
In case both an ointment and eye drops are to be used ,it is better if the drops are used before, as the ointment may affect the absorption of eye drops
After putting the drops,keep the eyes closed for better absorption of the drops
Once done ,wash your hands to remove the medicine that may have fallen on your hands
