For several eye problems doctors recommend the use of some specific eye drops. While these eye drops bring relief, it is equally important to know the way to use them. While pouring the drops make sure that you aim it towards the outer corner of the eye, instead of the inner one. In order to prevent draining of the drops, put a clean finger softly at the point where the eyes meet the nose.
