@laughlin1947 I got the Systane drops but I find this bottle difficult to dispense. Although it’s full, takes me lots of squeezing to get drop out, so long that my hand has moved and drop doesn’t get into my eye.

@abob
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.

@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.
