Wash hands with soap and water. Then wash the eyelids with lukewarm water, massaging gently to encourage drainage of the sebaceous glands.
Next, remove a flannel from the wrapper and gently wipe the eyelids from the inside out. If necessary, carefully wipe the eyelid margin without touching the eyeball.
Use one wipe for each eyelid, as they are sterilised to ensure asepsis at each application. Otherwise, infection could be carried from one eyelid to the other.
It should be applied whenever the eyelids need to be cleaned, even more than once a day.
