[blparent] Eyedrops how do you do it as a blind parent?

[Donna]

Hi,

Lay your daughter flat on her back. Using the pointer finger of your left hand gently & slightly  pull down on her lower eyelid. Holding the eye drop bottle in your right hand, rest the eye drop bottle on the bridge of your daughters nose closest to her forehead, dropper end toward the eye that the medication will be placed . Slightly angle the tip of the eye drop bottle down toward the corner of your daughters eye & gently squeeze the bottle. *I test how hard I need to squeeze by holding the bottle, dropper end toward my palm & gently squeeze. I repeat squeezing slightly harder if no medication dripped onto my hand.  * Follow the above to place medication into the other eye.
