Schedule for topical drops

I think the timing of the drops is not that critical. An hour either way I don't think would be significant. If you want to be able to set up a reminder, I like this: Uigos 2 Pack Digital Kitchen Timer II 2.0, Big Digits, Loud Alarm, Magnetic Backing.

The magnet can attach to the fridge or to the inside of the medicine cabinet door.

Thanks for the tip!

Yes it is a bit tricky to keep track of the drops. I made a spreadsheet with the actual days of the month, and the time of day for each drop with a check box that I used when I took each drop type. I printed it off and used a marker to keep track. I think it is very important to follow the instructions carefully. The incision is not closed after the surgery and has to heal by itself, so the antibiotic drops are very important. On my first surgery I was taking them 3 times a day, but the surgeon increased that to 4 times a day for my second eye which was done 18 months later. Same name brand antibiotic, so his experience must have been that 3 times was not enough. You do not want to get infection in the eye.

Just re-reading replies about how to keep track of drops. I'm set to take the same antibiotic as you 4 times a day for only 7 days.

Here is a screen shot of my eye drop chart I made in a spreadsheet. I found it helpful in tracking where I was at for drops.

Thanks Ron! That will be very helpful!
