Dr: This is your most useful video for me! I am taking Ciprofloxacin eye drops and my first attempt was a miss exactly like your video. Some of the drops even fell on my skpe! The drop hit my skpe and open up the fluid in it. Those eyes were strong as hell! Thanks for this video. Now I know how to put Eye drops in. I have naturally long eye lashes & they stop the drop from coming into my eyes. But when I used the technique of lying on my bed then the eye drops went into my eyes. Thanks Dr A!

I found an easy way to put in eye drops is to pull the bottom of the eye down as you suggested, but put the drop in while looking in a mirror. This works great when someone can’t stand to see the dropper coming and flinches, giving the dropper a whole different perspective. We shared this with our patients and they loved it!

How often can we apply eye lubricant? After my cataract surgery my eye is so dry and my opthalmologist suggest me to apply whenever I feel uncomfortable, but the relief won't last long. If I apply immediately whenever I feel uncomfortable, I will end up applying so many times a day. Is it ok?

The way I use eye drops is by standing in front of a mirror, tilting my head and moving my eyeballs to one side and then pointing the dropper above the white part of my eye and then squeezing the bottle and closing my eyes for a few seconds for it to cover the entire eyeball. Maybe that's not the correct way but it prevents the blinking part of putting something in your eye

0:07 wow! That's exactly how I applied my eye drops

I was wondering why I was getting a very nasty taste in my throat after using my eye drops- this video and channel in general has been great! thanks once again doc

Thanks Dr. Allen. Your instructions were easy to follow and you also covered topics that were new to me.

Yay! I discovered the nose bridge technique on my own. I wanted to get a nano dropper but was concerned about my grip strength/pinching strength and the dropper being harder to squeeze out the nano drop. I think it would work fine for very watery eye drops. I got a Systane gel formula in a squeeze bottle and it is much harder to get those drops squeezed out. Love your channel. I'm newly diagnosed and figuring out my protocols. Just got a heated eye mask. I should look on your channel to see if you have any recommendations.

thank you so much for this! i was just diagnosed with dry eyes today and was given a bunch of drops. i’ve never applied eye drops myself before and this is so helpful! 🙌🏾

Love love love I've been using eyedrops for years and years, hearing you talk about them is so informative and relaxing x keep the great videos comming xx love lloyd from new Zealand

Bless you for sharing this! Never has an eye doctor ever reviewed this with me. Why?! Seems so important! Thank you.

This whole time I thought eye drops were useless for me but in the end no one had taught me how to use them properly.. I watched this video yesterday and used my allergic prescription drops through today as recommended and they’ve actually been helping instead of feeling like they’re doing nothing. I can’t believe no one had taught me so far how to use eye drops even though I have dry eyes

That closed eye technique is going to be a life saver. Thank you!

Thank you, Dr. Allen, for this great info! The most useful bit was leaning the dominant hand onto the other one, to steady the hand applying the drops! Appreciate it!!

Thanks for this, I always wondered why eye drops seemed to make my eyes feel worse, have just done it using the way in the video and already feels so much better

Thanks Dr. Allen! I'm so happy your information is on KZread for free. It's helped me feel more informed about my eye care, so when I go to the eye doctor in-person, I know what I'm talking about.

Thank you for this video! I really appreciate the tip about resting the hand with the bottle on the hand pulling the eyelid down. I'm always missing my eye with the drops. Also, I used to blink every time I used the drops, so thanks for the tip about keeping your eyes closed immediately after using the drops.

The closing your eyes tecnique really saved my life, as a person who is very sensitive about eye-related stuff. Thank you!

Thank you. I never thought to shake them and now I feel stupid but I learned something so thank you very much.

The closed-eye tip is the best. Made post-cataract surgery recovery a breeze. Thank you.

Great tips. Having cataract surgery Monday so will be doing drops for about a month. Best tip was resting dominant hand on the non dominant being used to hold down the lower eyelid. Just tried it out with the antibiotic drops and it helped a lot. Thanks.

Dr Allen you very articulate! Appreciated your comprehensive explanation of using eye drops --- some of which were unique!

I have always struggled to use eyedrops and always miss getting the drops in, this video really helped me.

Thanks a lot!! Your first tip helped a lot!! I have dry eyes for the past few years. And, this was the first time I poured eye drops in my own eyes. Thank you!!

Wow! That was the most complete and informative description of eye drop use imaginable in such a short amount of time. It is most important now as many people have been getting inflammation and infections due to their drops. Thank you for the info and keep up the good work.

Thank you! I'm new to needing eye drops (prescription), and unfortunately I'm a blinker. I think I've missed several times, but didn't want to risk overdosing by retrying. These tips really helped!

Excellent demo. The optometrists have never ever explained the procedure or asked if we knew how to use eye drops. Thank you, that was helpful and beneficial.

That sounds great! As lkng as u show the different eye movemts and crossing them.. Thank u! Steven

Thank you Dr Allen Great advice I have had cataracts surgery and have to use 2 different types of eye drops I have been using the drops all wrong You have explained in great detail Thank you and bless you!

I've suffered from extreme dry eye after cataract surgery and have been not doing the drops correctly. After watching this video, wow what a difference!

Such a cute friendly doc & such helpful tips. Thank you, you're a lifesaver! 🙏🏼

I always pull the upper eyelid as it help with the blinking. Blocking the canal and not blinking afterward was something new I learned today. Thanks.

Thankyou dr. Its really helpful

Thank you next week I’m getting glasses and I’m afraid of getting drops maybe so thank you for showing me the different ways!

I have a problem with flinching and shaky hands so I’ll try the close eye method next time. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you very much!!

THANK YOU!!!! Best tips ever :) now I can put them myself and hopefully help w my dry eyes

Thanks for your videos. They are very informative. I just started taking Ristasis and the med comes in individual dosages. I find the dropper more difficult than a bottle. Also, I’ve got silicone blocks in the canaliculi. I’m going to try your suggestions with the individual droppers to see if administration is improved.

Very informative and helpful. didn't know that I should not blink after applying the eye drop (as I've been told). Thanks a lot for these info and God bless you.

Such great helpful tips to improve our quality of daily life and a straightforward well presented video. Thanks for all you do.

This is the BEST video I have ever seen on how to use eye drops. I especially liked the trick of resting the dominant hand holding the eyedrops on the back of the hand pulling the lower eyelid open. Game changer , thank you so much !!

great topic. I have been probably effectively wasting eye drops every time I used them. Sounds simple, just two drops, but some training will now actually get them into my eyes.

I'm a patient of glaucoma and today first time I came to know the right method of pouring eye drops. Thanks Dr Allen

Thanks Doc. This was a blessing!

I appreciate this video. I recently had eye surgery and trying to get the drops in have been a nightmare. Thank you for these helpful tips.

Thanks Dr. Extremely important and very informative. Well explained.

More simple method: Look into mirror sideways and put drop in opposite eye from the far side with head tilted up slightly. Super easy, works every time.

Thank you, I appreciated the entire video helpful. Thank you. Liked the tip about punctal occlusion and putting drops in frig to help with knowing if drops landed in right spot.

Most helpful was learning I should be blocking the drainage canals and keeping my eyes closed for 30 seconds after instilling the drops. Also didn't know about closed eye technique. Your videos are great, I'll be sharing your channel on Facebook.

Wow! I’ve always had a huge problem getting those drops into my eyes! It’s uncomfortable doing it and I end up wasting all the drops! The drops end up on my nose, my eyebrows, or even on my forehead! Everywhere except the eyes! I tried your method and it worked on my first attempt! Incredible! OMG! You’re a blessing to me! Thank you so much! Where have you been all my life? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 👍❤

I have been doing it wrong the entire time. Thanks so much for this!

I appreciated all the info, especially the closed eye and to wait 5 to 10 minutes between mulitiple drops. I'm gonna have to use 2 meds 4x a day before cataract surgery about a week before I'm scheduled. This has been very helpful and I'm keeping it in my history for review. God bless you!

Great video, thank you

Thank you for such wonderful tips. I recently got my Lasik surgery done and have been using eye drops everyday . However i always felt a bitter after taste in my throat every time I used my eye drops. Also my eyes kept feeling dry even after constantly applying eye drops. Thanks to you , my experience has been much better now 😊

Thank you so much for this ..The Blocking and closing the eye ..

Where buying drops

Been trying to find a video that would specifically show me the exact spot to do the punctal occlusion. When you said you will feel those little bumps on the inside of your eyes and I tried that myself and felt them and finally felt that I had found the correct spot to apply pressure. Before this I was pressing more on the sides of the bridge of the nose in inner eye but not right in the corner of the eye on what you called the little bumps. I looked at several videos before I saw this one and felt I had reached clarity.

Thank you so much this literally changed my life

Thank you Dr Allen. Your instruction on how to get the eyes in were very good & are working well for me

You are a such a great human! Perfect tips and perfectly explain in easiest way! Long live!

Love your channel so much, sir. Keep it up.

Thank you for this very informative tutorial.

This definitely helped. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the tips! Much appreciated 🤓

I've had to use eye drops after cataract cleaning and it's so difficult to use them so thank you!

THANK YOU saving me from contact headaches

Wow, this was super helpful information! Lots of stuff I did not know, such as one drop only. Thank you!!

Thanks for info-I had combined glaucoma and Cataract surgery with having to use lots of eye drops still. One eye had issues so postponing my 2nd eye surgery with even more drops. I appreciate that you explained the proper way to use eye drops because I didn't get these instructions on how to apply the drops so Thank You 😉

Thank you for this advice of how to hold the dropper, just got some castor oil eye drops and struggled to get anything in the eye, but will give this technique a try tonight !

As a Montessori teacher, I love the details of this presentation. Very thorough!

I've just started using prescription eyedrops to reduce my IOP and I've struggled to get them in on my own. I've checked out many instruction videos and I'm so glad i came across yours; it is by far the best, thanks!

I just had an eye doctor tell me I have extremely dry eyes and I have to use eye drops for the first time. Never realized how flinchy I was! Definitely going to try the eye closed method!

Fantastic pro-tips! Self administration with one hand resting on the other or closing the eye and resting on the nose bridge were really helpful. I ask myself, after years of doing drops, why didn't I think of that? Thx so much!

Thank you. That was very helpful. Those bottles are so tiny these days! My doctor recommended I use eye drops and when I opened the package I was surprised. Especially with the price!

Thank you. I never knew about shaking the bottle.

This is very helpful. I have been doing it all wrong. Now I can apply properly and hopefully I will get some relief.

Thanks for making this video this was really helpful!

That was so good and informative. Thank you

Thanks Dr. It's the first video to show the right way to put Eyes Drops.I was doing all wrong!!!

Thanks, I needed that!

I found this to be so informative and so useful

Dr. Allen, thanks for telling us 1 eyedrop is sufficient for the eye, and for showing how and the reason to put finger on the corner of eye which I always wonder. Thanks for all the great tips to what seems like an easy procedure, now I can confidently use eyedrops without a mirror 👏👌⚘

This is really good you share to me how put the eye drop …you really right I waste the drop going down because not the same what you said ….thank you for sharing this …GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🙏

Hi Doc! Thanks for your great channel and providing us with professional advice and helpful guidance for eye care. 👍 I've got a little concern here though. You see I'm always bothered by the awful "bitterness" at the throat, usually within 10 -20 mins after applying the eye drop, especially eye ointment, which means the eye care application has travelled to the throat 😯...even more quickly when lying down. Then I would quickly gargle my mouth with water, trying to clean out the medicine from my throat...fearing I might swallow any harmful chemicals from the medication...just in case 😲 So what do you think about this Doc? Please advise...thank you and have a BLESSED nice day folks! 😇

So helpful. Thank you.

Thanks a lot! I was struggling to do it by myself.

Great video! Very informative! Thank you! 😊

I learn so much from you. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

omg i’ve been putting eye drops in my eyes for years and just learned from you putting eye drops in my eyes properly .. I DIDNT KNOW TO HOLD MY EYELID ONCE DROPS ARE IN MY EYES ALSO THE TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EYE DROPS BECAUSE IVE PROBABLY BEEN FLUSHING MY FIRST EYE DROP SO THANK YOU DOCTOR ALAN SO SO HELPFUL 🥰

Dr thanks for best info on drop and eyes knowledge.

Hi Doc. Should I wait for some time after applying eye drop or it's not needed?. Is there any specific time limit for how long I've to wait if it's needed?

Thanks for the video doc eye health! I was doing it wrong and pulling the top of my eyelids and struggling to put the drops in.. lol will definitely try your way. Am sure it’s going to work. Thanks again 🙏

Thank you again, so helpful!

So thankful I came across this video. I was prescribed eye drops and after the first time use I experienced the unfortunate sensation of having it go down the back of my throat, very unpleasant. I am guilty of blinking a lot just after applying the drop so that didn’t help lol. Will definitely try this method of blocking the corner of the eye and keeping my eye closed for 30 seconds 😅
