Hi everyone,
I am new to the discussion. I was trying to login to the live chat from 9:00pm to 11:00pm EST- is this it? I was not able to get on the last site.
I have to put eye drops into my father's eyes and he criticizes me each time that I do it. Does anyone have any ideas about some kind of appliance that he could use so that he can put in his own drops?

Thank you all so much for all the advice about eye drops. And thanks bobcat for the product link-I will definately oder one of the eye drop dispensor devices. I took my Dad to his eye appointment today and since I have been putting the drops in his eye pressures came way down , right eye from 30 to 13 and the left eye 13 to 9. The doctor was pleased. The nurse attendent did not even know about eye dispensors, so thanks so much.

I had Don tilt his head back as far as he could, and turn a bit to the right or left - depending on the eye. I told him to look toward his nose. And then I put the drop(s) in the OUTER corner of his eye. Stuff ran right toward the tear ducts, flooding the entire eye just like it was supposed to.
Perhaps this will work for others, too.

You could do it perfectly and he still might not like it. Mom makes a horrible face when we clean her eyes and put in drops. Now instead of waiting for her to open, I drop the drop in the corner at her nose and tell her to blink. It runs in fine, and I just don't take it personally that she doesn't like it.

There are such gadgets

Well, there is a trick of just putting eye drops above the inner corner lid so they just run in.
