This treatment also mitigates the risk of vision loss from CMV retinitis, a severe ocular infection. Apply the gel externally only, as directed by your physician. Always wash hands before and after administration. Hold the applicator near the eye, avoiding contact, gently dispensing the gel into the lower conjunctival sac.
