I administer eye drops to Mom every day, once in the morning and twice in the evening. One Rx is for glaucoma and the other is for macular degeneration. Mom used to do it herself but it wasn't working because, in the end, all she was doing was pulling out her lower eyelid and dribbling drops down her cheek (she wasn't even getting close) so now I do it.
I have to warm the drops in my hand since she is very sensitive to the "cold" (room temperature) liquid and she doesn't put her head back far enough (because of the strain it puts on her spine--which is why she wasn't able to get near her eyes when she was doing it herself) and she tends to flutter her eyelids so the drops often end up in her eyelashes or on her cheek anyway (except, unlike when she was doing it herself, I keep at it until we succeed) so she comments whenever we hit it just right.
Last night we got one drop square on her left iris. First try.
She smiled and exclaimed, "Bird's eye!"
