Eye drop self instillation

Eyedrops must always prescribed by your doctor. First check the name of drug , expiration, how many drops to be instill and which eye to be instilled. Sometimes doctor will just only order one eye only -(whether right eye or left eye only) or both eyes.


This is how:
tilt head back
put lower lid down by your forefinger to expose inner surface of lower lid
with other hand hold dropper horizontally and facing top of head
look up and instill 1 dropper horizontally and facing top of head
look up and instill 1 drop onto lower lid.
close eyes slowly and never squeeze or rub them
