Eye drop administration

2016-05-02 14:23:33
I have been prescribed an eye drop to administer 4 times a day. When I put a drop in my eyes and close, the drops escape from the eye and gets wasted. However, if I don't close my eyes but blink couple of times, the medicine gets absorber easily. Am I doing it wrong?
