Bimatoprost eye drops are typically used to treat conditions like glaucoma or to enhance eyelash growth. The best way to consume them depends on your specific condition and the instructions given by your healthcare provider. However, here are some general guidelines for using bimatoprost eye drops
- Wash your hands: Always start by washing your hands with soap and water to prevent any contamination.
- Prepare the eye drop: Shake the bottle well if required, to ensure that the solution is evenly mixed.
- Tilt your head back: Tilt your head backward and look up at the ceiling.
- Pull down your lower eyelid: Gently pull down your lower eyelid with your index finger to create a small pocket.
- Apply the eye drop: Hold the dropper directly over your eye and squeeze out the prescribed number of drops into the lower eyelid pocket. Be careful not to touch your eye with the dropper tip to avoid contamination.
- Close your eye: Close your eye gently for a few moments to allow the medication to spread evenly across the surface of your eye.
- Press on the corner of your eye: After applying the drops, press lightly on the inside corner of your eye (near the nose) with your finger. This helps to prevent the medication from draining into your tear duct and being absorbed systemically.
- Wipe away excess: Use a clean tissue to wipe away any excess medication from around your eyes.
- Repeat if necessary: If you need to use drops in both eyes or if your healthcare provider has prescribed more than one drop per eye, repeat the process for the other eye.
- Replace the cap: Securely replace the cap on the bottle to prevent contamination and keep the medication effective
