Application Instructions
Apply 1-2 drops of Can-C Eye Drops into each affected eye twice daily. Always avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination.
If you wear contact lenses, be sure to remove them before applying the drops. Wait at least 15 minutes after applying the drops before reinserting your lenses.

- Lean your head back while looking directly upwards. You may need to sit on a chair for support while you do this.
