-
Use medications regularly, maintaining appropriate time
intervals
-
Know what your medications are
-
Have periodic check ups.
-
If you are using two or three drops at the same time,
wait for a minimum of ten minutes between 2 applications.
-
After applying drops, close your eyes for a minute or
two and gently compress the area over the tear duct near
the inner corner of the eye. This will avoid unnecessary
entry of the drug into the nose and onwards into blood
stream, thus reducing the side effects.
-
If you forget to use your eye drops on schedule,
administer a drop as soon as you remember. Do not wait
until next scheduled time.
-
Tell your ophthalmologist if your medications are too
inconvenient or uncomfortable
-
If your eye after surgery gets red and you have pain and
watering contact your doctor/local eye specialist
immediately.
