My younger brother had his first eye done today. Just basic lenses. He has a lot of health issues. He has a little palsy in both hands and was freaking out about maybe having to do the eye-drops himself?

His wife still works, so he asked the them if there was a way even a shaky handed guy like him could do it himself??

  Turns out there is and he tried it and it worked great for him. If he can do it alone and easily with this method, then anyone can.  ;) ;D


If you're too anxious to insert eye drops
Children and people who have strong reactions to anything near their eyes may struggle to keep their eyes open. If that's the case, try this method instead:

Lean your head back as far as is comfortable, or lay down on a bed or couch.
Keep your eyes closed.
Hold the eye drop bottle with your thumb and first two fingers.
Put the other two fingers of your hand on your nose for stability.
Without touching the bottle to your eyelid, put an eye drop in the corner of your eye near your nose.
While your head is still tilted back, open your eyes and blink several times until the drop rolls into the eye.
