Troubleshooting
Temporary blurred vision after application
This is a common effect of ophthalmic ointments due to their consistency. It typically resolves within a few minutes. It is best to apply the ointment before bedtime to minimize disruption.
Difficulty squeezing ointment from the tube
Ensure the cap is fully removed. If the tube is new, the seal might be tight. Apply gentle but firm pressure. If the issue persists, the tube might be defective.
Eye irritation or redness occurs
Discontinue use and consult with an eye care professional. While rare, allergic reactions or improper application can cause irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and squeeze a small amount of ointment (approximately 1 cm ribbon) into the pocket. Close your eye gently and blink a few times to distribute. Avoid touching the tip of the tube to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination.
