Using eye drops sounds easier than it is. To benefit from their full effect, the following procedure is generally recommended:
- Wash your hands thoroughly so that dirt or germs do not get into your eyes.
- Tilt your head back, carefully pull your lower eyelid down and look up.
- Hold the vial or disposable container close over the eye, but do not touch the eye.
- Instill the drops at the lower edge of the eye.
- Then release the eyelid and close the eyes.
For technical reasons, Comfort Shield® MDS requires a little more pressure on the bottle, which can cause problems for older people, for example. In this case we recommend using the single dose of Comfort Shield® SD.
