How to use GoldenEye Antibiotic Ointment
Before using this product, wash and dry your hands thoroughly. Lie down and remove the cap of the ointment tube. Hold the nozzle near the eye, ensuring that it does NOT touch the eye affected areas, as this will prolong recovery. Using your other hand, gently pull the lower eyelid down and look upward. Squeeze the tube gently to deposit 1cm of ointment into the pocket created in your lower eyelid. Close your eye for some time to distribute the ointment effectively. Repeat in the other eye if needed. For best results, use this product for five days. Stop using this product if your symptoms worsen.
