I have also attached 2 links regarding putting your drops in which you may find helpful. Alternatively there are many compliance aids available to buy.

These are brilliant. Thanks for putting the videos online. He did a workshop at the local eye clinic and taught us these techniques which were very well received by participants. I learned so much and improved the way I use my drops. Nobody had ever shown me or even explained that there was a correct way . For years therefore I had been using them incorrectly.

Would be good if patients were told about these links etc when we come to the eye clinic ! Or even as a footnote to the clinic letters.

Thanks once again.
