Eye drops advice needed

littlemummy2

Hi, i did a topic about phoebe having uveitis again. I now a have a bit of a dilema, i'm finding it really difficult to give her the eye drops she makes up every excuse not to have them. A couple of times she's made herself upset and cried. I don't know whether to speak to to Dr wood or keep trying. The last thing i want is to put her off the drops by forceably giving her them so could really use some advice on what to do. All of us are get stressed by it.

Thanks guys michelle x

hi michelle,

what an awful time your all having, my heart goes out to you.
i was thinking about your dilemma and thought about putting the drops in when she was asleep, i am a nurse and have heard of this but to be safe i checked it on line and it says you can do it this way. i will put a link here for you to see also.
worth a try

good luck

I will try for night time but for first 7 days she has to have 3 drops a day, then 7 days on 2 drops then another 7 days on 1 drop. Gonna give him a call and see what he says. Thanks for the website very informative. x
