I will definitely use these tips! The patients I see in my eye clinic almost always give me a challenge with instilling drops!

[factChecker]

These tips are really helpful. I especially like the refrigeration tip. It made it easy to distinguish between a complete miss versus a hit with a lot of run-off.

[Mrskkornrumpf]

Resting on hand on the other worked best for me. Thanks so much for the great advice!

[davidtritsch]

I am scheduled for my 2nd cataract pre-surgery appointment this week. Your information has been of immense help to prepare for my appointment, from this video on how to put in eye drops, what are the best eye drops and all the cataract surgery information. Thank you.

I have glaucoma and use two drops. If you hold your head back and look up at the med bottle and CAN SEE the tip of the bottle, the drop will go directly into your eye.

[wolfgirlJess]

[Tyopozzx]

I am going to try your tips. I hope they work and thank you for the information.

[sherlock]

The corner of the eye works best for me. Of course, sometimes I do touch my eye with the dropper. I’m going to try refrigerating my eye drops. That makes good sense to me. Thank you. Cheers!

I like the technique where my dominant hand is on my non-dominant hand. Although, I still kinda miss my eye when using the eye drop. so far, I can get the eye drop to land on my eye but before that;the eye drop landed on the bottom skin of my eyelid.
