Instructions for use

Do not use the bottle if the seal around the cap is broken before you first open it.

Wash your hands before opening the bottle. Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.

• Gently pull down the lower eyelid of the eye that needs treatment until there is a small “pocket”.
• Turn the bottle upside down. Squeeze it to release 1 drop into the “pocket”.
• Let go of the lower lid, and blink your eyes a few times.
• Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the other eye if it also needs treatment.

To help prevent infection, do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye, the surrounding tissue or anything else. Put the screw cap back on to close the bottle, straight after you have used it. Store the bottle in an upside-down position as this helps drops to form the next time you use LIQUIVISC.
