I have to put on lacrelube for my dry eyes.. got them two days ago and I've wasted half the ****ing tube trying to put them on. Anyone got any tips

I am actually allergic to most eye ointments, but I don't see how you could have a problem using them, maybe watch a video of someone applying it to their eye?

I wear contacts so can't see pretty good when I'm applying the ointment as they have to be taken out

Get a family member to do it for you?

I dunno how they'd do it as it's much trickier and close up than drops but I'll try I guess

Have you gotten used to actually touching your eyeball yet? What I'm asking, is do you flinch whenever you try and put the paste on (hence wasting half the tube)? If that's what's happening then it'll just take time... learning to poke around your eyeballs is a skill :laugh:
