A member asked:
I cannot put my antibiotic eye ointment on, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technique: Looking in a mirror, pull your lower lid outward forming a cup. Place the ointment in that cup. Then pull your lower lid over the front of your eye and close your eyes to spread the ointment. You can also have someone assist you. It gets easier with practice. Good luck!
