A lot of people, when confronted with the need to instillation of eye drops for the first time, are often feel lost or conduct this necessary procedure clumsily, which could not only weaken the healing effect of droplets (if the manipulation performed improperly the medicine does not reach the mucous membrane of the eye and this cannot lead to the desired effect) but also be harmful. Here are some tips on how properly apply eye drops; by following them you will make your treatment effective and recovery— fast:

  • Hands should be washed up before using the eye drops. Take the bottle with clean, dry hands
  • If necessary, you can use a mirror that allows you to monitor your movements and avoid injury
  • Take the most comfortable for you position: you can lean back or lie down on a sofa
  • Tilt your head back, pull the lower eyelid downwards so between the eye and the eyelid would form a fold. Do not pull off the lower eyelid too much, as thus would not form a "pocket" and the remedy may simply leak out. The drops keep in your other hand
  • Take a little look up and without losing the sight of the tip of the bottle, get it into a sufficient distance (but not too close to the eye, otherwise you may be injured or transfer an infection from one eye to the other!) And drip 1-2 drops into the space between the lower eyelid and the eye
  • If you are confident that the droplets fell into desired location, you can stop dripping, as more than two drops in the "bag" would not fit and all the excess liquid would simply flow out
  • If needed, repeat all the above mentioned actions with the second eye
  • After instillation of the eye drops you can close your eyes and gently press your fingers on the inner corners of eyes, this method makes it possible to prevent "leakage" of the medication from the conjunctival cavity into the nasal cavity, which will provide a more complete admission of medicine in eye tissues

When a newborn kid is having eye problems to drip the eyes of a little patient, even if he (she) does not really know how to turn away and resist is not such a simple task. However, there are some rules for conducting this procedure. For this purpose find a comfortable for the child and especially for you position. It is best to place your elbows next to baby’s head. Then gently pull the lower eyelid and drip the drops. Gently moving the eyelid (act quickly in this case because rarely any child would enjoy such manipulation) you want to spread the medicine on the eyeball; after that, release the newborn’s eyelid. Immediately following the procedure, you can see tears. This could be leftovers leaking out or the baby shed a few tears from pity. If the kid felt that something unpleasant is about to happen and began to blink, do not try to attract attention in every possible so the little one opens the eyes. It is enough to dribble the medical product to the lacrimal sac. The kid would still reflexively begin to blink and drops would distribute over the eye, therefore you’ll achieve a desired effect anyway.
