General Information
-
Directions for use of your drops or ointment are on the label of the
bottle or tube. Record the name of your medication in case the
medicine is lost or spilled. Refrigerate drops only when the label
has instructions to do so.
-
You
must use your medications as often as the doctor has instructed.
Unless you have been told to awaken and use medication during the
night, medications are intended to be used during waking hours. Plan
a schedule and make every effort to use the medicine as close to the
prescribed time as possible.
-
Carry
your medicines with you when ever you are away from home and
continue to use them as usual. Be sure to bring them to your doctor
at each visit and ask for any change in instructions. Avoid exposing
the medications to sunlight.
-
It is
not unusual for eye medications to sting or burn slightly for a few
minutes when they are first used. Eye ointments may cause vision to
be temporarily blurred, and may cause prolonged burning.
Instructions for Eye drops
-
Always wash your hands before putting drops in your eyes.
-
Shake
the eye medication well if labeled to do so.
-
Carefully open the medication container. Be sure the tip of the
dropper does not touch anything!! Place the cap on its side on a
flat surface.
-
Tilt
your head back, or if needed, lie down comfortably on your bed.
-
Place
the ridge of the eyedrop bottle on the bridge of your nose with the
dropper facing over the affected eye.
-
Look
up. (If your eye is swollen, pull your lid down gently, forming a
pocket between your eye and your lid.)
-
Squeeze bottle
-
Close
your eye gently for 5 minutes.
-
Replace cap.
-
If
you are using more than one medication, wait 5 minutes between each
drop.
Instructions
for instilling glaucoma eye drops:
-
Wash
your hands.
-
Shake
the bottle if needed.
-
Sit
with your head tilted back or lie down.
-
Unscrew the medication cap carefully so that the tip does not come
into contact with anything.
-
Pull
down your lower lid.
-
Look
up at the tip of the bottle (don't worry if it looks blurred). It
may help if you close your other eye.
-
Take
care not to touch the tip of the bottle to your eyelashes, eyelids,
or anything else.
-
Squeeze the bottle gently so that only one drop comes out.
-
Make
sure that you feel the drop enter your eye and that it did not land
on your eyelid or cheek.
-
Close
your eye/s and press on the inner corners of your eyes (where the
tear ducts are located) for 5 minutes. This is very important, do
not skip this step.
Instructions for Ointment
-
Always wash your hands.
-
Remove the cap from the tube and place it on its side on a flat
surface. Be sure the applicator end of the tube does not touch
anything. To ensure that the ointment going into the eye is sterile,
you may want to squeeze a small amount of it onto a wet cotton ball.
Discard the cotton ball.
-
Hold
the ointment in one hand and with the fingers of the other hand,
pull down the lower lid of the eye.
-
Hold
the applicator end of the tube close to the eye, but not touching
and squeeze the ointment in a ribbon about 1/2" along the inside of
the lower lid while you look up.
-
Carefully replace the cap on the tube.
