Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They relieve dryness and irritation, promoting comfort. In an injured eye, artificial tears also promote surface healing, increase comfort by reducing the feeling of a surface scratch and flush out any residual contaminating or injurious particles. They prevent further damage by keeping the eye lubricated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over the eye and place 1 drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tilt your head back and look up. With 1 hand, pull your lower eyelid down and away from your eyeball-this makes a “pocket” for the drops. With the other hand, hold the eye drop bottle upside down with the tip just above the pocket. Squeeze the prescribed number of eye drops into the pocket. More items •23-Jul-2021
