A member asked:
The doctor prescribed eye drops medication for patients. patients should take 3 drops of that medicine. after instillation, the patient blinks his eyes and loses some medicine. then whether the patient should take another drop of medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't recommend taking an additional drop without asking your eye doctor. Most eye medications administered by a dropper only need a tiny amount of the medication to be effective.
