Avoid touching the tip of eyedrop bottle. Wash hands prior to putting drops.

Nothing to worry for one time touch But your hands should be washed before using the drops You can use bottle opener Pharmaceutical companies recommend discarding ophthalmic drugs 28 days after opening.  This is because the preservatives inside can start to break down and allow bacteria to grow
