The recommended dose for TRAVATAN Z® Solution is one drop in the affected eye(s) once per day in the evening. Follow these steps for using TRAVATAN Z® Solution:

  1. If you use more than one eye drop medicine, wait 5 minutes before applying the next medicine.
  2. Wash hands before each use.
  3. If you wear contacts, remove them before applying TRAVATAN Z® Solution.
  4. Remove the cap from the bottle carefully so that the dispenser tip does not touch anything. Place the cap in a clean, dry area.
  5. Tilt your head back. Gently pull down the lower lid until a small pocket is made.
  6. Gently squeeze the bottle, dispense one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
  7. If your eye doctor has advised you to use punctal occlusion, close the medicated eye(s) and press gently on the puncta to prevent the TRAVATAN Z® Solution from being washed out of the eye. (Puncta are the small tear drainage holes located on the lid margin closest to your nose.) Wait one minute and release.
  8. To prevent potential contamination of the product that could lead to eye infections, do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or anything else.
  9. Replace the cap. Store between 36° to 77°F (2° to 25°C).
  10. The dispenser tip is designed to provide a precisely measured drop; therefore, DO NOT enlarge the hole of the dispenser.
  11. Contact lens wearers should wait 15 minutes after applying drops before inserting lenses.
