Precautions
Follow your doctor’s advice and follow all medication guidelines for your medication. Use it exactly as prescribed. It is typically going to be used at an eye doctor’s office during an eye exam. However, the following are if you are prescribed this medication for use at home. Do not allow the tip of the dropper to touch any surface, including your eyes or hands. Shake your Minims Tropicamide eye drops before use and be sure to wash your hands both before and after use. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a pocket. Look up and away, while squeezing a drop into the pocket. Be sure not to touch any part of the eye. Close your eyes for 2-3 minutes with your head tipped down. Do not blink or open your eyes. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for one minute to keep the medication from draining into your tear duct. Wait 5 minutes between drops, if prescribed more than one drop per eye. Do not use if the eye drops have particles or change colors and do not use if you are wearing contact lenses. Store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep the lid tightly closed and do not freeze.
