Do you have any secrets for getting eye drops in the eye?

Asked by Sunny2 (18842points) October 15th, 2011

I have to put 10 eye drops per day in my husband’s right eye. More often than not, I miss. He says I’m touching his eye. I don’t think so. I have him tilt his head up, turn his head to the right and look towards the upper right. I wait for him to say “Now” and I squirt the dropper from about 1½ inch above. Invariably, he blinks and the drop runs down his cheek. Now and then I get a bull’s eye, but mostly, I have to do it over again. We’re both trying to be patient, but it’s frustrating.
