💧 How to Use

Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it.

Squeeze the dropper to instill one drop into the pocket.

Close your eye and gently press the inner corner (near the nose) for about 1–2 minutes to prevent the liquid from draining away.

Wipe away any excess liquid with a clean tissue.

Note: Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface, including the eye, to prevent contamination. ​
