How To Use Betagan
BETAGAN: To instill eye drops, wash hands first. To avoid contamination, be careful not to touch the dropper or let it touch your eye.

Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. Do not rinse the dropper. For maximum effect, BETAGAN must be used routinely as prescribed.
