Have the child lie on the floor, kneel by their head. Gently hold there head between your knees. Tell them to close their eyes, put drops in the inside corner of eyes. Then say "look at mommy" :) The drops slide in! You may need to hold their hands away too. Takes some co-ordination, but it works!
Yes, have them lie down. Have them close their eye (leave it open if they will) put the drop in the corner of the eye by the bridge of the nose. Keep them lying down for a few minutes (after they first open the eyes). The drops will go in and spread. try not to let them sit up or rub for a few minutes.
This what what the doctor I used to work for suggested. It does work great. Works for adults too :-)
Be careful that you also don;t get it as it can be passed on to adults , make sure you don't touch or rub your eyes
