19 Aug.,2022

 

Sodium hyaluronate

Dose: Two drops should be applied to your affected eye four times a day. You can use further drops to provide relief from dryness or irritation if necessary.

The eye drops should be applied to your affected eye following the instructions below.

To apply the eye drops:

1. Wash your hands.

2. Remove the cap from the bottle.

3. Tilt your head back and look up.

4. Hold the bottle upside down above your eye.

5. Gently pull down the lower lid to form a sac and look up at the bottle.

6. Carefully squeeze the sides of the bottle to drop two drops into the sac of your lower lid then blink to spread the eye drop across the surface of the eye.

7. Screw the cap back on the bottle after use.

Try to avoid touching the dropper tip with your fingers, eye lashes, or to the eye itself. If this does happen, wipe the dropper tip with a clean dry tissue. Screw the cap back on the bottle after use to keep it clean for next time.

Do not worry if you get a few extra drops in your eye. This will not be harmful; you cannot overdose or do any damage.

You will have a follow up appointment with an Ophthalmologist (Eye Doctor) who will tell you when you can stop using the drops.
