-: Using eyedrops,
whether they're prescription or over-the-counter,
can be a tricky task for anyone.
But a few tips can help you get the right dose
in the right place,
no matter your level of vision.
You probably already used eye drops on your own
and some of the techniques you practice
will still come in handy.
Here are a few extra tips
that don't rely on vision.
If you're using a new medication
or if your eye drops come in a bottle
you haven't used before,
try practicing on your hand first.
That way, you'll know how quickly the drops come out.
Start by removing the bottle cap
and placing it where you can easily find it,
near a landmark,
such as the backsplash of your bathroom counter
or on a clean tissue or towel nearby.
Then hold the bottle in one hand
and place your other hand under the bottle
a few inches away.
