Hi there! Happy to help. Since you’re only experiencing symptoms in one eye, apply the drops only to the affected eye. Follow the dosing and frequency as recommended by your prescribing doctor. If similar symptoms begin in the fellow eye, then you can start for that eye as well.
Next Steps
Apply only to affected eye. Follow routine protocol, avoid rubbing eyes, use a lubricating drop for added relief
