@abob I thought I was the only one having difficulty with squeezing the two bottles of eye drops. This is a cautionary tale: I used my Vevye drops twice a day after heating and wearing my Oasis Rest Relief before inserting my eyedrops. I thought I was doing a good job, but I now have an eye infection and my doctor told me I must have either touched the tip of the drops to my eyeball (I doubt it) or maybe touched an eyelash. Perhaps I did touch an eyelash, but my left eye still feels awful like sand is in my eye. So, in addition to the Vevye drops I am using an RX of Tobramycin and Dexamethasone four times a day. I must wait at least 15 minutes before using the RX after the Vevye. The infection is supposed to be gone by the end of a week. I do not think it will be because that date is in 3 days. I honestly don't know what I am going to do next.
I guess I will have to go back to the eye doctor. I hope many of you have found solutions to your eye problems. With all good wishes, @joybringer1.

i wish the mfr offered bottles of eyedrops that have droppers like in the good old days. I keep thinking with practice I will get better, but my face b=gets washed with eyedrops far earlier than me getting the drops in my eyes. Maybe a pharmacist wound be helpful with an idea that would help. Thanks for sharing! I need to develop some technique wherein I spread my eyelids apart before releasing a drop. But having the bottle so difficult to dispense is something I have no answer for. Maybe the pharmacist would help.
