eye drops

Does anyone have any tips for giving LO eye drops?  He has pink eye and needs to have these drops 3 times a day for 7 days and it is nearly impossible to get them in.  He squirms like crazy and clamps his eyes shut TIGHT.  So not only do I have to try to hold his head still but I need to try to pry his eyes open at the same time.  I finally gave up this morning.

    I've had to give my daughter tons of drops due to an eye condition her whole life. When they are in the squeeze their eyes shut super tight phase, just make sure you get the drop to fall in the corner of the eye closest to the nose and then I say open you
