[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6237, member: 701"] Pigless, I'll have you know that I am a seasoned veteran of eyedrops. difficult child got glasses when he was three and we had so many appointments in the those first few years that the doctor let me dilate his eyes at home because it cut the appointment time in half. Cooperation is always best, so go for that and use bribes if you have to. If that doesn't work then it's best to have two people--one to take on the child and one to do the eyedrops. If you get them flat on their back and get the eyedrops in the inside corner of a closed eye, eventually they open the eye and the drop slides right in. You can pry the lid open a little but it makes the whole business worse. Of course restraint should only be used when absolutely necessary and this was one of those times where at least for my young difficult child we couldn't get the drops in otherwise. [/QUOTE]
