Note that when using eyedrops:
-
The hands should be clean
-
The dropper (tip of the eyedrop container) should be clean and kept clean at all times
-
The dropper shouldn't touch the eye or any part of the face
-
When using more than one drop in each eye, wait for about five minutes before using the next drop!
