i think you have to be a body builder to squeeze the bottle. i am just not strong enough. any suggestions?

sometimes there is no hole in the eye dropper. To make a sterile hole. Remove the detached bottom Blue ring, then screw the cap down as far as you can and the inside of the cap will puncture the eye dropper

I also had difficulty getting any drops to come out at first. The trick was to first peel off the plastic ring that keeps the cap from fastening too deeply, then screw the cap very tight. When you do this a spike in the cap creates a hole in the bottle. After I did that I was able to get drops from the bottle.

the inside of the cap has a spike which makes the hole. after peeling off the plastic ring, close the bottle tightly so that the spike punctures the inside top of the vial. when you then remove the cap from the vial, you'll see the hole is there.

you have to hold the bottle as close to the bottom as possible and squeeze toward the middle. harder then most bottle but the medication is worth the effort.

Tip the closed bottle upside down, shake once. Remove cap, shake one drop into each eye. The drops will be there, you don't have to squeeze the bottle at all. Remember, you just need to put one drop in each eye.

I have no suggestions but agree with the difficulty of squeezing the bottle. Other eye drops aren't that difficult. I may contact the manufacturer and ask why and if they can change the bottle. Good luck.

Read the instructions again. I don't think you opened the bottle correctly.

I sterilized a safety pin and poked it into the opening to make it larger. I had to do that a couple of times. Just use alcohol to sterilize the pin and poke it through once. It will work just fine then.

My husband says he had to push down really, really hard. He had trouble too. You're probably afraid of breaking it, but give this a try. Hope it helps! Marilyn

I'm not sure I will be of any help because u don't have a hard time opening this particular bottle. It's actually one of the easiest ones I have opened. I recommend maybe purchasing a different bottle at Walmart that is easy for you to open and put the vitamins in there and just toss the current bottle you have.

You squeeze it. In my opinion, it doesn't work. I returned mine to the store.

Not likely, product is very thick. Maybe if you cut top of squeeze bottle off it could work...

Although you can squeeze the bottle, it is not necessary to do so to take a drink. You can just turn the bottle up and suck in to draw in the liquid. Hope that helps.

You only need one hand to pump the plunger up and down, but you need to somehow hold the bottle steady - maybe holding it with your arm against your body, or maybe between your knees?

Make sure you don't squeeze the bottle when you put it in so you don't create a vacuum the machine can't overcome. Take the bottle out and put it back in without squeezing it and see what happens.

Make sure you unscrew it all the way to loosen it before you mount it onto your bottle.Don't over tighten it. It just needs to be snug.

It is difficult to drink form this with one hand as I often do while driving. Your wrist is bent at 90-degrees while trying to tip it toward your mouth with all the weight working against you. Two hands... no problem. By the way, this product leaked all over me for the first half-dozen times I used it. Now, it doesn't.. to my wonderment. I personally would not buy this again.

It takes a good deal of pressure to fully open, you have to continue with the same amount of pressure to keep it open, and it closes immediately upon release. I think this might not be the right bottle for you.

you have to push down and turn at the same time... like a prescription bottle...

Lots of strength. Try warm water to loosen the seal. Sometimes liquid creates a film that seals the lid to the glass. My initial review of this product was somewhat unfavourable because of how hard I find it is to open these bottles. Try holding the glass with a dry towel and wear rubber gloves. Or use one of those rubber jar openers. The glass is so slippery. Sometimes it just takes the right amount of friction and force. In general, I don't like using this product for this reason. It holds liquid. It is made of glass. It takes so much force to flip the lid. I'm always anxious about breakage or spilling all over the place. I recommend you just gift them with homemade products and be done with them!

Just push harder. I thought I'd break it getting it open, but I just wasn't pressing hard enough.

Try putting some water in it or take the top off and gloop some into your hand. :)

A bit late with my response, but just saw this question....went to spam for some reason......I didn't think it was that hard....just make sure to have the cap on, don't overfill and use a spoon to scoop it in.
