Slowly close the eyelid to spread the medication and keep it closed for thirty seconds allowing it to be absorbed. Always observe the solution prior to each use to make sure it is not cloudy or discoloured as this may indicate contamination. Do not allow the tip of the bottle to contact any foreign surfaces, including the eye itself, as this may cause contamination.
