I am sure that someone has designed an eye cup type of device that the drops bottle fits into, that you position over your eye socket and then with your eye open, administer the drops. Look online or call the pharma companies or the Association for the Blind. Also, possibly a homecare nurse could make a low cost daily visit to admin the drops. An advocate group, churches, meals on wherls etc. could possibly be trained to help. A local Nursing school could possibly send a student. The answers are out there, you need an advocate. You are courageous, patient, and amazingly resilient. I deeply admire your adaptibility and endurance. Best wishes!!

@treyaj thank you for replying. There are still few surgeons who perform this surgery. Three times a day for a month and possibly more than that is something I or my eyes can handle (do have other health conditions). My opthalmologists have always had try several times
just to administer the dilating drops for my yearly exams -- its not really feasible for me to do so or to have someone come to my
home seven days a week. Thank you for offering these suggestions -- I do appreciate it.
