The usual recommended adult dose of trifluridine eye drops is 1 drop into the affected eye(s) (on the cornea) every 2 hours while awake (up to a maximum of 9 drops per day). This dose is continued until the eye lesion heals over, usually within 7 to 14 days. Then, the usual dose is 1 drop into the affected eye(s) every 4 hours (up to a maximum of 5 drops per day) while awake for 7 days. The medication should not be used for longer than 21 days. If no improvement is seen in 7 days, or if the lesion has not healed within 14 days, see your doctor.

Before instilling these eye drops, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. To avoid contaminating the eye drops, do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including your eye or finger.
