Using your eye drops

General information. Follow the individual instructions from your treating team. These pages do not prescribe treatment or replace an examination.

Step by step

  • Check the medicine, correct eye and expiry date, then wash your hands. Shake only if the product instructions require it.
  • Tilt your head and gently lower the bottom lid. Apply the prescribed number of drops without touching the eye or lashes with the bottle tip.
  • Close the eye gently and press lightly at its inner corner for 30–60 seconds. Do not press on the eyeball.
  • Leave at least five minutes between different drops. Apply ointment after drops, leaving a five-minute gap.
  • Follow the product’s storage and after-opening expiry instructions; these vary. Never share drops.

Prescription organiser

Copy your prescription instructions only. This organiser does not suggest doses or times or verify prescriptions. Complete it with your clinician or pharmacist, then print it. It is not saved or sent; refreshing clears it.
