Did you know? The correct way to use eye drops.

Even eye drops may not be fully effective if they are not applied correctly.
Try applying eye drops correctly by following these instructions.

  1. 1First, wash your hands to make them clean.

    To remove any dirt from your hands, be sure to wash them thoroughly with soap. Afterwards, rinse them well.

  2. 2With one hand
    To stick out your tongue.

    Tilt your head straight up, and with the hand that isn't holding the eye drops, gently pull down your lower eyelid to make a "sticking out your tongue" shape.

  3. 3Apply eye drops carefully, avoiding contact with eyelashes or eyelids.

    With your tongue pulled down, carefully apply the specified amount of eye drops to your eye, making sure the tip of the eye drop container does not touch your eyelashes or eyelids.

  4. 4Close your eyes for about one minute.

    After applying eye drops, it is effective to gently press the inner corner of your eye for about a minute and keep your eyes closed. Then, wipe off any excess eye drops from the edge of your eye or skin with a tissue or similar material.
