1. Before using your Vividrin Hayfever Eye Drops you should wash your hands.
2. You may find it helps to sit in front of a mirror, so that you can see what you are doing. Tilt your head backwards, gently pull down your lower eyelid and carefully place one or two Vividrin Hayfever Eye Drops in the space between the eyelid and the eye. Take care not to touch the dropper with your eye or fingers.
3. Release the eyelid and blink a few times to make sure the liquid covers the whole surface of the eye.
4. Repeat the procedure with the other eye and then replace the cap on the bottle.

If you use more Vividrin than you should contact your doctor or pharmacist.
