Summary

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate that there is a new easier method to instill eye drops in ones own eye that is as effective as applying a drop directly to their open eye. The benefits of this new method include better medication compliance and reduced patient anxiety from instilling their eye drops. This secondary benefit should remove the "approach-avoidance response" that prompts some patients to delay or give-up on instilling their drops just to avoid the angst and frustration produced by the challenge.

The new method involves the patient instilling the eye drop onto their closed eyelid and then blinking the eye drop into their eye. We aim to show that this method has a similar therapeutic effect as the routine administration of an eye drop to an open eye.
