If you are applying Betagan eye drops, avoid any possible contamination by refraining from touching the dropper tip or letting it touch your eye or any other surface. If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them.
To apply eye drops, here is a step-by-step guide:
- Wash your hands before starting the application to prevent possible contamination.
- Tilt your head back slightly and look upward.
- Use your index finger to pull down the lower corner of your eye to create a small pocket.
- Hold the dropper directly over the pocket, making sure it does not touch the eye.
- After administering the drop, close your eyes gently, and apply slight pressure on the inner corner of your eye.
- Do not blink or rub your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
- Insert one drop into the pocket.
- Instruct your doctor to determine how often you should apply the drops.
Do not blink or rub your eyes after applying the drops. Also, do not rinse the dropper after each use and make sure to correctly replace the dropper cap. Do not rinse the dropper after each use and replace the dropper cap correctly.
Ensure you wait at least 5-10 minutes before applying a different eye medicine to prevent interaction and maximize results. For optimal outcomes, take the eye drops regularly and at the same time each day. Even if you don’t feel unwell, keep using the medication since most people with glaucoma or high pressure in the eyes do not sense illness.
