What Are Tears Naturale Eye Drops And What Are They Used For

How To Use Tears Naturale Eye Drops

How to use

1. Wash your hands before you start.
2. Twist off the bottle cap.
3. Hold the bottle pointing down, between your thumb and fingers.
4. Tilt your head back.
5. Pull down your lower eyelid with a finger, until there is a ‘pocket’ between the eyelid and your eye.
6. Bring the bottle tip close to the eye. Do this in front of a mirror if it helps.
7. Do not touch your eye or eyelid, surrounding areas or other surfaces with the dropper. It could infect the drops.
8. Gently press on the base of the bottle to release one drop at a time (picture 2).

10. If you use drops in both eyes, repeat the steps for your other eye. Put the bottle cap firmly back on immediately after use.
11. In the case a drop misses your eye, try again.
12. If you use more Tears Naturale than you should do not worry as it will not cause you any harm, if needed, Tears Naturale can be washed out of your eye with warm water. Do not put in any more drops until it is time for your next regular dose.
13. If you swallow Tears Naturale do not worry, it will not harm you.
14. If you forget to use Tears Naturale, continue with the next dose as planned. Do not use a double dose to make up.
