A BIG PROBLEM SOLVED--

One real challenge when living alone is installing eye drops.

My eyes are very sensitive and looking at the looming application end of an eye drop appliance is about like staring at the hostile bore of a large caliber pistol.

I discussed this perplexing issue at Hursh’s pharmacy the other day, and, as is usually the case with these extraordinarily helpful small-town businesses, the pretty, young lass in the prescription department came to my rescue.

She said, “Try this. Lie on your back, close the eye in question, touch the end of the eye dropper gently in the corner of your eye near the nose, and, squeeze out a small puddle of liquid. Then, while still lying down, remove the applicator and open your eye. The fluid will apply itself.”

I did, and it did; just as she said it would.

It never ceases to amaze me how simple the solutions can be to some of life’s pesky challenges.

Thanks Hursh’s for the competitive prices on your products and this priceless free advice.
