  5. Take the lid off the bottle.
  6. Tip your head back.
  7. Gently pull down your lower eyelid and look up.
  8. Hold the dropper or bottle above the eye and gently squeeze one drop onto the inside of the lower eyelid, taking care not to touch the eye or eyelashes with the dropper or bottle.
  9. Blink your eyes so the liquid spreads over the surface of the eyeball.
