Administering eye drops correctly is vital for their effectiveness. Here are the steps: 1. Wash hands thoroughly. 2. Instruct the patient to tilt their head back and look upward. 3. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. 4. Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze out the prescribed number of drops. 5. Ask the patient to close their eyes and gently press on the inner corner of the eye for about one minute to prevent the medication from draining into the tear duct.
