Photos A bottle of apraclonidine (Iopidine) How To Use HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION: Apply eye drop to the eye as follows: Wash hands first. To avoid contamination, be careful not to touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye. One drop from the first container is instilled in the eye to be operated upon one hour before laser treatment. A second drop (from the second container) is instilled in the same eye immediately after completion of laser treatment. Discard each container after use. Tilt your head back, gaze upward and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Place dropper directly over eye and administer the drop. Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. Wash hands after use. Side Effects Raising of upper eyelid, paleness of eye or lining of eyelid, increase in pupil size of eye, inflamed eye.
