Problems with administering eye drops
Administering eye drops can be difficult. This can become even more difficult if the liquid doesn’t come out of the bottle or dropper easily—for example, because the liquid is thick, or the bottle or dropper is stiff.
Adverse Reaction Center Lareb occasionally receives reports about this. Often, these reports involve people with reduced strength in their hands, such as those with rheumatism. But they also involve people without these symptoms.
Are you having trouble administering eye drops? If so, talk to your pharmacist. He or she can determine whether an eye-drop applicator might be an option.
Do you have any complaints—for example, about the eye drop bottle making it difficult to apply the drops? If so, you can report this at www.lareb.nl
