If your doctor of optometry prescribes drops or ointments, be sure to follow all directions. Before you use any drops or ointment, be sure to tell your optometrist about any other prescription or non-prescription medications you are using or allergies that you have.
Some people like to lie down on a flat surface.
If you are unable to master this, gently pull your lower lid down with your index finger. Keep the bottle's nozzle or the eyedropper clean by not touching it to any part of your eyes.

This step is very important with some medications, so do not skip it if your doctor specifies it.
