The Thea Eyot® is for use with single dose unit eye drops. It is designed to help with the stable positioning of the unit over your eye, so you can accurately squeeze a drop into your eye.
Instructions for use:
- After washing your hands, twist off the cap of the single dose unit, and gently insert it between the grooves towards the eye piece until fully in place.
- Lie down or sit down comfortably and tilt your head back.
- With the viewing hole of the aid facing upwards, use the aid to help you lower your bottom eyelid, so the lower part of the aid rests near/on your cheek bone.
- Place the top part of the aid on near/on your brow bone. When ready, look up through the viewing hole, and squeeze the button to release a drop.
- Unless your clinician has advised otherwise, close your eye and gently press the inside corner for 30 seconds to help prevent the drop entering your mouth.
