Gotas y lubricantes para ojos

Putting in eye drops may be daunting, but there's no need to worry. Learning how to use eye drops isn't nearly as difficult as you may think! First, you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. It is often easiest to lie down when you are putting eye drops into your own eyes, but you can also try standing in front of a mirror. Looking up toward the ceiling, gently tilt your head back and pull the lower eyelid of one eye down using one hand. Holding the bottle of eye drops in the other hand, carefully squeeze out the recommended number of drops, depositing them inside your lower lid. Do not touch the top of the bottle to your eye. If your hand feels a little wobbly, it may help to rest part of your hand or wrist on your forehead to help keep your aim steady while you instill the drops. Once you feel the drops go into your eye, blink and dab any excess liquid away with a clean tissue. Then close your eye for a moment to let the solution go into your eye. If needed, repeat this process with your other eye. Once you are finished, wash your hands to clean off any residue that may have dripped onto them. This step is especially important if you are using medicated eye drops, because you don't want the medicine to be absorbed into your skin or potentially cause irritation. If you have any questions or concerns about how to put in eye drops, do not hesitate to ask your doctor.

Yes, eye drops do expire! All eye drop bottles include a printed expiration date. While over the counter eye drops are usually formulated with preservatives, most still expire after a year. You may be wondering, can you use expired eye drops? The short answer is no, you should not use expired eye drops. Expired eye drops are not only less effective, but they may also have become contaminated over time with bacteria or have undergone changes in the chemical composition that could cause more harm than good to your eyes. Instead of using expired eye drops, you should buy a new bottle. You'll also want to call your pharmacist to find out how to properly dispose of the expired eye drops. (While some can be safely thrown away in your household trash, others may require special procedures.) And remember - even if your eye drops have not yet reached their expiration date, if you notice changes in the color, if the area under the cap becomes dirty, or if you find that using them has become uncomfortable, it is best to discard the drops and buy new ones.

Eye drops typically expire between approximately one to two years after the manufacturing date, which should be printed somewhere on the bottle. However, if you open your eye drops, they will expire much faster, and typically tend to last around three months after the date of opening them. After three months there is a greater risk of contamination, so the eye drops should be replaced with a new bottle. Write down the date you open your eye drops and make a note to replace them if they're not used up by three months.

Eye drops can be used to add lubrication to dry or itchy eyes. Some eye drops help to reduce redness like Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops. Other eye drops contain medication like an antihistamine to help relieve your eyes of the symptoms of allergies. CVS Health 12 Hour Antihistamine Allergy Relief Eye Drops can reduce redness, itchiness, and other symptoms associated with allergies. If you suffer from dry eye, choose artificial tears or lubricant eye drops like TheraTears Lubricant Eye Drops to help restore moisture to the eyes.
