When using eye drops, the bottle will never come in contact with your eye. You hold the bottle above your eye and let the drop fall into the eye. When using eye ointment, you pull your bottom lid down and place the ointment on that flap of skin.

But within one or two treatments, I see improvement. I use it because my cat has a chronic eye infection (herpes something or other from shelter life as a kitten).
