How to use Hypromellose eye drops:

By following these directions, you will keep this medication clean and prevent eye infections.

1. Wash your hands with soap and water. Dry your hands with a clean towel. Check and see if your eyes have crusting or drainage. If they do, close your eyes and gently wash or wipe the outside of your eyelids with a clean wet cotton ball.
2. Shake the eye drops container gently.
3. Remove the cap of the eye drop bottle. Place the dropper cap on its side, and rest it on a clean tissue.
4. Do not touch the dropper tip with your hand or any object. Eye drops must stay clean. 
5. Quickly turn the bottle upside down.
6. Place the back of your thumb against your forehead, above the eye receiving the drop.
7. Tilt your head backward with both eyes open, and look at a point on the ceiling.
8. Pull your lower lid down gently to form a pocket for the drop. Position the tip of the eye drop bottle so that it does not come closer than 3⁄4 inch above your lower lid.
9. Squeeze the bottle lightly to allow the drop to fall into the pocket. Put ONE or TWO drops into the eye. This can be repeated when required and when symptoms get better, you just need to add ONE drop four to six times DAILY. 
10. Close your eyes without squeezing them. Keep your eyes closed, and gently blot them with a clean tissue. With your eyes closed, gently press on the inner part of your eye for 30 seconds. This keeps the medication in contact with the eye longer.
11. Replace the cap on the eye drop bottle.
