1. Tilt the head back slightly and look up and back. 2 A.  Pull the lower lid down so that a "trough" is formed by the lower lid. Squeeze one drop into the trough. 2 B. A second way is to use the same hand to both pull the lower lid down and hold the bottle.

3 A&B  Push your index fingers firmly over the corners of your eyes to keep the drops from draining out.   This keeps the drops in your eyes longer thus minimizing the chances of them going down your nose or causing systemic side effects.

 

4. If too much blinking occurs, use the left thumb to hold the upper lid lashes against the eye brow. Use the little finger of the hand holding the dropper bottle to simultaneously hold the lower lid.
