you can apply at bed time inside the eye about half inch ribbon by gently pressing the tube and later close your eye so it will spread inside and no need to rinse it .by morning it will be absorbed totally.
Next Steps
let me know for what problem it was prescribed?
Health Tips
dont apply ointment with fingers directly. there are lot of videos in youtube which guide uou how to apply eye drops and ointments properly.
