" I have trouble getting it to get into the eye without contaminating the tip of the tube, so I wash my hands and put some on my finger then put it into my lower eyelid, do the roll and then rubb the rest into my eyelid/eyelashes to keep them moist as well. then I rewash my hands. probably not a good practice but it works for me and I am allergic to most gloves and dont want to put them in my eyes because of that.
