Patient advice:
- Avoid allowing the tip of the dispensing container to come into contact with the eye, surrounding structures, fingers, or any other surface in order to avoid contamination of the solution by common bacteria known to cause ocular infections; serious damage to the eye and subsequent loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions.
- If a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection) develops, ocular surgery occurs, or you develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, immediately seek your physician's advice concerning continued use.
