Before my cataract surgery one of the nurses at Mt Sinai EENAT  gave me a tip on eye drop application... pull lower lid down & look up (this eliminates a blink reflex). Apply the 3 different drops @ 5 minute intervals.

    Great tip, basically Dr. has me on the same eye treatment plan with same number of drops 4/day. Took your advice and it works great, no more solutions running down the side of my face. I thank you!!

      When I had my wife put drops in pre-surgery it was difficult as I spread upper & lower lid... following this tip no problem 1000% of the time.... not sure how many members are aware of this method.
