What are Hay Fever Relief Eye Drops?
Hay fever relief eye drops are a medicated treatment for symptoms of hay fever and other allergies. Just one or two drops in each eye a few times a day will help to ease symptoms such as itchy, red, or watery eyes. If you’re suffering from hay fever symptoms that are making your eyes sore and uncomfortable, these eye drops could help.
Directions
Before using this product, wash your hands. Remove the cap from the bottle of eye drops and tilt your head backwards. Use one hand to pull down your lower eyelid, and the other hand to gently squeeze the bottle of drops so that 1 – 2 drops fall into the pocket formed between your eye and eyelid. Take care not to touch your eye with the dropper. Close your eye or blink a few times to disperse the drops over the surface of your eye. Repeat process in the other eye if necessary. Do this up to 4 times a day.
