# How do I apply Upneeq eye drops?

Here's a step-by-step guide on applying Upneeq:

1. **Wash your hands:** Clean hands are essential to prevent eye infections.
2. **Remove contact lenses (if applicable):** Take out your contact lenses before using Upneeq. You can reinsert them 15 minutes after applying the drops.
3. **Open the single-use vial:** Upneeq comes in individual, single-use vials. Tear open the foil wrapper and remove one vial.
4. **Tilt your head back:** Look upwards and gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a small pouch.
5. **Apply one drop:** Carefully squeeze one drop of Upneeq into the pouch of each affected eye. Avoid touching the tip of the vial to your eye.
6. **Close your eyes:** Gently close your eyes for a couple of minutes to allow the medication to spread.
7. **Discard the vial:** Each vial is for one-time use only. Dispose of it responsibly, even if it seems like there's some liquid left.

**Important:** Your healthcare provider at AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills may offer additional tips and demonstrate proper application techniques.
