There are 60 vials in the pack of Restasis I received. Do I use each vial 2 times or one time?
I was instructed to put a drop in each eye, twice a day--once at about 7:30 a.m. and again about 7:30 p.m. Do I use only one vial for both applications, or do I use one vial for the morning application and a second vial for the evening application?
