Re: Is there a trick to using eye drops?

Deb - While you're holding the lower lid down with your index finger, and after you have put in the drops, just kind of push it back and forth and you can manipulate where the drops are.   

 

It probably sounds weird but put your finger there and see what feels right and you'll see what I mean.  Smiley Happy

Re: Is there a trick to using eye drops?

@debcakes

First of all this takes a little practice.  I use eye drops daily and sit in a recliner chair, recline back fully, tip my head back,  and place drops in eye holding lower lid.  I stay in that position for about 15 to 20 seconds allowing the drops to coat the eye.  I also have a kleenex available which I use to gently blot my eye.   My eye doctor recommends Refresh, and that is what I use.  Coupons are available for Refresh products.
