Administering mydriatic eye drops to children can be challenging due to their natural fear of the process. Here are some steps to ensure effective application: 1. Preparation: Explain the procedure to the child in simple terms. 2. Positioning: Have the child lie down or tilt their head back. 3. Technique: Gently pull down the lower eyelid and place the drop in the lower fornix. 4. Aftercare: Encourage the child to blink a few times to spread the medication.
