- In this video I demonstrate how to put in eye drops correctly. This video is especially useful for anyone who has to instill eye drops on oneself without assistance. Putting in eye drops can be a challenge for anyone, but knowing the correct way of how to do it will make instilling eye drops much easier. In this video I explain the reasons for all the steps, as well as offer practical tips to make the process of instilling eye drops go more smoothly. The information in this video can also be referenced by nurses or healthcare professionals when giving discharge instructions to patients on how to put in eye drops correctly.
I am a dual certified family and pediatric nurse practitioner. I worked many years as a registered nurse (RN) in the emergency room, then continued working in the emergency room after becoming a nurse practitioner (NP). I love the teaching aspect of nursing and love to make videos that will help both nurses and patients alike.

Hey...I was excited to get this notification...was looking forward to a new video. ☺️ Thanks for the great info as always. 🙂❤
Thanks Kavita! I know it’s been a while but planning on more videos in this new year. Thanks for always being here first! 🤗💕
This video was very informative as I learned much about administering and the proper care and handling of eye drop medication.
There’s so many little details to know. Glad it was informative! ☺️
Thank -u Sandra, I have been putting my glaucoma drops in for a few years all wrong and also sometimes doing an extra drop(yikes) over the years I forgot the right way. But now I am on the right track again yahoo thanks again!!
This is good information. I never knew to put eye drops in the pocket.
Thank you! Glad it was informative! 😊
Sandra, Thanks for the insight to better eyesight. No more touching the eyeball with the bottle tip, and having a runaway of liquid down the face. I will take ownership of all the principles and make than a part of my eye health. I appreciate your practical wisdom and send you a hug for what you do for people you don't know. I call you blessed to be a continual blessing.
Awe thank you so much for your comment. That really means a lot to me! Hugs back! 🤗

Great to see you back Sandra! I have very dry eyes. I use non preservative eye drops. Good information because I didn't know it was necessary to keep your eyes shut until the drops are absorbed. I use preservative free Systane or Refresh vials.
Hey Rob, thanks I’m finally getting back in to the swing of things this new year. ☺️ Ahhh I didn’t know about preservative free eye drops. I try to avoid preservatives as much as possible too. They are literally in every product it seems these days!
@@thesunnyedge that's great you're back in action. Yes I only use preservative free drops. They come in vials out of the box. You will love them. Have a blessed day precious!!
Thanks Rob! Enjoy your weekend
Great video. I’m useless when it comes to eyes. I’d never be able to wear contacts I reckon lol
Thanks! Back when I used to use contacts, it took me about 45 minutes to put them in the first time lol
NOW I KNOW HOW TO CLEAN MY HANDS! IDIOTIC!
