How to use Homtask Eye Drop
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.
How Homtask Eye Drop works
Homtask 2% Eye Drop works by relaxing certain muscles in the eye. This helps widen the pupil and temporarily reduces the eye’s focusing ability, making it easier for doctors to examine the inside of the eye. In uveitis, it helps reduce eye pain and discomfort by relaxing the eye muscles and prevents the inner parts of the eye from sticking together during inflammation.
