Hello hope someone can help me quickly. I have been taking Azopt eye drops for several year with no trouble. I have just been changed to Lantanoprost single you applications without preservative. I am having trouble putting them in. The are quite hard to press to get the drop out and my fingers are not that strong these days. Last night I think I managed it but tonight O had to open another phial as I completely missed my eye I think I eventually got in in but it kept going on my hand. I obviously cant keep wasting them any ideas anyone don't see the doctor in clinic for 6 weeks.

    There are several eye drop assistance devices available. Try Autodrop or Autosqueeze, from Amazon.
