Eye drops 4 times a day
I have been asked to put Zoxan-D eye drops 4 times a day for 5 days and 2 times a day for next 5 days. How many hours gap should be there between 2 drops? I had put 3 drops yesterday. This morning at 4 am I had sharp pain in the eyelid I guess. Can I still continue putting the drops? (I have started the course yesterday since I have digital eye strain)

Normally the drops should be equally spaced throughout the waking hours of the day. About the eyelid pain, if it is severe and bothering you then maybe you need to visit the doc again.
