It is very important for any glaucoma patient to know the correct way to order eye drops, because it will directly affect the treatment effect and prognosis of glaucoma, and may also affect the doctor’s judgment on the treatment effect and further treatment. So, what is the correct way to order eye drops? 1, before using the medicine, pay attention to check the name, concentration and expiration date of the eye drops used, whether there is turbidity or flocculence in the eye drops, and whether there are color changes. Any eye drops made in suspension form should be shaken before use to make the solution even. Wash your hands before dispensing, take a reclining or sitting position, tilt your head back, open your eyes and look upward, separate your upper and lower eyelids with your index finger and thumb, put the drops in the conjunctival sac below the white eye in the outer corner of the eye, lift the upper eyelid slightly to keep the solution in the conjunctival sac as much as possible, and then gently close your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes. 2. Close your eyes for 3 minutes after ordering the eye drops to increase the time the drops are in contact with the eye and to increase the efficacy of the medication. 3. At the same time, use a cotton ball, index finger or cotton swab to press the inner corner of the eye for 3 minutes to avoid the absorption of the medication through the tear dots into the nasal cavity, thus reducing the side effects of the medication. 4.Do not put different kinds of eye drops in at the same time. Tears will excrete the medication within 5 minutes, so it is important to take at least 5 minutes between doses of one type of eye drop and another, so that the first one is not diluted and the effects of each type of medication are fully utilized. 5. If you need to use eye drops and ointment at the same time, you should order eye drops first and then apply them to your eyes. 6. Eye drops generally contain preservatives, so ordering them too often can cause irritation and damage to the surface of the eye. Contact lens wearers should also avoid using eye drops. 7, eye drops should not be placed in high temperature, high humidity or direct sunlight. Some drops need to be placed in black bags to avoid deterioration, some eye drops need to be stored at low temperatures, so after getting a bottle of eye drops should read the instructions in detail to understand the preservation methods and related precautions; after opening the drug in the process of use, if you find that the color changes or cloudy precipitates produced that should be discarded; unopened drops should pay attention to the shelf life before use, do not use expired drugs. 8. Glaucoma patients treated with eye drops should ask their doctor when to use them every day, because many drugs for glaucoma can be used at a fixed time to maximize the effect of reducing intraocular pressure. Therefore, before using the medication, we should listen to the doctor’s guidance, develop a reasonable number of times and medication time, once set, we should strictly follow the time to order the medication, so that not less than once and not less than one kind of medicine, never change the medication time or stop using drugs at will, this is very important for the treatment of glaucoma. 9. If you have any abnormal symptoms after ordering eye drops, you should tell your doctor in time. Special Note: One drop of eye drops is enough, because the amount of eye drops is about 30 microliters (25,-35 microliters), and the volume stored in the conjunctival sac is usually only 7 microliters. Therefore, ordering several drops of eye drops at a time is just a waste.
