Step 1: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before using the eye gel.

Step 2: Tilt your head back or lie down with your eyes closed.

Step 3: Using your finger, gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a pocket.

Step 4: Hold the tube of eye gel upside down and gently squeeze a small amount (usually about 1/4 inch) of gel into the pocket formed by your lower eyelid. Be careful not to touch the tip of the tube to your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.

Step 5: Release your lower eyelid and close your eyes gently. Do not blink or rub your eyes.

Step 6: If you need to apply eye gel to both eyes, repeat the steps for the other eye.

Step 7: Replace the cap on the tube of eye gel and store it in a cool, dry place.

Note: Follow the instructions on the label or as directed by your doctor regarding the frequency and duration of use of the eye gel. Also, make sure to avoid using eye gel that has changed color or consistency or has expired. If you experience any discomfort or irritation, stop using the eye gel and consult your doctor.

Step 3: Use your other hand to hold the eye insert between your thumb and forefinger.

Step 4: Place the eye insert in the pocket created by your lower eyelid.

Step 7: Dispose of the used eye insert according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Note: Eye inserts should only be used as directed by your healthcare provider. If you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately
