Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Don't panic over the eye drops. Even if he screws his eyes as tight as he can, the drops will help. Here is one way that I have done this with kids. Have someone hold him. Let him screw his eyes tight. Put the drops on the margin of his eyes. Tell him you are done. He will open his eyes - drops in. No it is not sterile, but it is the best one can do with a very tightly screwed closed eye. Just hold him until the eyes open.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi Sara, You are so clever! I never thought to say it's finished and the eyes open. I like it. My BIL, the opthomologist, will be here until Monday so he can do the drops. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 13 DS/OCD/ASD? sara cohen wrote: Don't panic over the eye drops.
