Can anyone recommend a cup made a certain way that's fool-proof to use for eye drops? Also, where to purchase online or local drugstores? I'm having difficulty in finding one and I can't seem to get the drops in my eyes. I miss 99% of the time.

Thank you

I'm sorry, I don't know about this type of item. However, I can offer a suggestion. Are you trying to drop the eyedrops in the center of your eye and miss because you're looking at the dropper and flinch when the drop(s) hits your eye? Try applying them at the inner corner of your eye. Gently pull the bottom lid away slightly, apply the drops, and blink a few times to make them spread.

My husband is the worst for putting drops in his eyes, so we devised a simple way to accomplish this. Close his eyes, tip his head back, put a 1-2 drops of the liquid on the inner corner of his eye (eyes still closed), thnen slowly open and the drops go in his eyes. Easy and painless.

Ladies, thank you for your help. I haven't tried either of your methods and perhaps I won't need an eye cup. The ideas are worth trying!
