I have glaucoma and use two drops. If you hold your head back and look up at the med bottle and CAN SEE the tip of the bottle, the drop will go directly into your eye.

Thanks a lot i saw it in my meds recipe how to apply but i wanted to be sure how to do it and i searched the youtube and finally find you the perfect one 🙌🤝☺☺

This is an awesome demonstration. Thank you indeed, Mark and Karen!

I wish this video was in existence 15 years ago! Unfortunately I’ve received conflicting instructions on taking my drops. A colleague who worked with my main ophthalmologist told me to put my drops in one after another. A pharmacist told me me to wait 5 minutes between each type of drop (I take three different medications for each eye). When I mentioned this to my former ophthalmologist (he has now passed) he agreed! I was irritated as this instruction was never given to me at the change of my prescription!

The eye specialist never told me how to use the eyedrops too and I have been using it for donkey years already!

No one ever told me that....after putting in for 18years😕 Then i had a new speacialist and she explained that holding and pressing the corner closes the tear duct, which allows the drop to stay in the eye longer & consequently more time for the eye to absorb....when not done almost 50 percent of the drops is lost down the tear duct, through the throat & into the stomach....wasted your $$. Also please shake your drops well so its ingredients will be properly mixed.

Good morning from Thailand.... just read your comment....it is called 'punctual occlusion'..... extremely important to prevent eye drops going down into the sinuses and blood stream.... also to use a drop reducer to use only what the Eye needs....I use Nano dropper volume reducer.... expensive but worth it!..I reuse it again also!

I have mild glaucoma and don’t understand why this and all other eye-drop videos that I’ve seen fail to explain the OBVIOUS (as another commenter also says below). I may be one of the lucky ones but I find I can perfectly well SEE the bottle (of course pretty blurry) and, if I squeeze slightly, also see the drop at its tip. And, if I centre this, the drop always and reliably goes straight in with NEVER a miss = PHEW!… all problems vanished. Why don’t ALL videos explain this basic situation? It seems so obvious - now!

Charlie, note that sometimes a person can not see well, especially after glaucoma surgery. First, the eye may be swollen and the area of the eye diminished creating a smaller target for the drops. Second, eyesight can also be severely diminished after surgery. If you can't see the bottle or the drop clearly, the drop misses the eye, resulting in wasting drops, and running out of the prescription before it is up for a refill.

@forward_ever_ever2595

Жыл бұрын

You've become a pro at administering it. But what is equally important is pressing & holding for at least 4/5mins the corner of the eyes....this closes the tear duct so the drops remain on the eye allowing it to absorb the drugs....when not done about 50percent of the drig goes down the tear duct, through your throat (thats why u sometimes taste it) and into the stomach...wasted $$😕

I find lightly pinching my tear ducts closed for only 30>45 seconds seems to be enough. Or there’s then no aftertaste in my mouth. My consultant confirmed that this should be long enough for most people.

Hi hemetech, we asked Karen, who appears in the video, her opinion, and this is what she said: "...we would usually tell our patients that if they were unsure if the drop had gone into the eye, to instil one more drop then they know it’s gone in. This shouldn’t cause any problems with the eye. The only thing we do say to be careful of is if the patient is flooding the eye with drops as it can cause a lot of the drop to run out and can also make them less effective…and they’ll run out of drops a lot quicker."
