  • Apply pressure to the corner of the eye (near the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop.
  • Wait at least 5-10 minutes before administering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
  • Notify your doctor if you have lung or heart diseases, as Levobunolol may exacerbate these conditions.
  • A stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 minutes; notify your doctor if it persists longer.
