Procedure for instilling drops into the eyes

Instilling drops into the conjunctival sac outwardly seems to be a very simple procedure, but even some experienced ophthalmologists perform this procedure incorrectly.

Drops can be instilled by putting the patient on a chair, but bedridden patients should be instilled in bed. To carry out the procedure, it is necessary to tilt the head slightly back, the gaze should be directed upwards. Slightly pulling the lower eyelid, it is necessary to bring the pipette as close as possible, as far as the eyelashes allow. Drops should fall on the conjunctiva of the eyelid or arch. It is enough that 2-3 drops fall into the conjunctival sac. When more drops are instilled, no more than 2 drops remain in it anyway.

When instilling drops, in no case should you touch the eyelashes, as this violates the sterility of the pipette. There are always microorganisms on the eyelashes. As mentioned above, eyelashes are designed to detain foreign bodies, including microbes, and prevent them from entering the conjunctival sac. It is clear that if microbes get on the pipette, then they will get into the bottle with the pipette, in which the solution for instillation is located. For both microbes and viruses, eye drops can be a suitable breeding ground, and then they begin to multiply. Thus, the medicinal product can turn into a source of infection with pathogenic microbes or viruses. Through a pipette, it is possible to spread pathogens of viral epidemic conjunctivitis, which is especially dangerous, since it can cause an epidemic of this disease. Young children usually try to avoid this procedure. However, when a child cries during the pulling of the lower eyelid, it turns out. 2-3 drops are dropped on the conjunctiva that appears and the eyelid is immediately released. Thus, the drug solution enters the conjunctival sac.

You can prepare a stopper with a pipette yourself so that the pipette is in the bottle constantly, up to the complete consumption of the solution. To do this, use a bottle with a rubber stopper from under any drug intended for intramuscular or intravenous administration. A hole corresponding to the diameter of the pipette is cut in the center of the rubber stopper so that the stopper tightly covers the pipette, and there are no gaps between them. Rinse the bottle, stopper and pipette well and boil them for at least 10 minutes. The sterile vial is filled with a sterile solution for drops and closed with a stopper with a pipette inserted into it. In addition to the fact that this ensures the preservation of the sterility of the drops and the convenience of their use, the constant presence of the pipette in the bottle allows you to avoid such mistakes when using drops when taking one bottle of solution instead of another. Especially severe consequences are caused by instillation of ammonia instead of eye drops, which is usually released in small bottles similar to those in which eye drops are also released.

Vials with drops should have a clear inscription with the name of the solution and an indication of its concentration. Some solutions, the use of which can be harmful if they are used incorrectly for other purposes, are specially painted in order to exclude the possibility of error.

Drops containing medications of groups "A" and "B" should be stored in the appropriate cabinets under lock and key. If such drops are given to a patient whose family has small children, then they must be stored at home in places inaccessible to children.

When giving drops to patients for treatment at home, they should be well instructed in accordance with the above instructions. Especially carefully it is necessary to instruct elderly and elderly patients.
