Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delayed response.

You may have to close your eyes for a minimum of 3 minutes for the medicine to get absorbed.

Yes, it is almost same to all medications used as drops. In case of ointments a duration of 15 min is a must.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
