• Do not touch the eye or eyelid, the surrounding areas or other surfaces with the tip of the bottle.This could infect the eye drops.
• Gently press the bottle to release one drop of TRAVIOP at a time. (figure 3)
• After using TRAVIOP, keep your eyes closed, apply gentle pressure with a finger to the corner of the eye, near the nose (figure 4)for at least one minute. This helps to prevent TRAVIOP from spreading throughout the body.
