Using eyedrops on baby/toddler

Has anyone got any tips to help me put drops into DD1s eyes - she is 15 months old and HATES having eye drops in ( as I'm sure most kids do), she wriggles around, screams the house down and scrunches up her eyes while I squirt drops all over the place but usually none actually into her eyes!

I second doing it shile shes asleep, night time is when the drops are most effective.

can you get gel instead of drops? its easier to put in than the drops.

Do it when she's asleep, or wrap her up in a big towel so she can't move and do it (bit traumatic tbh, but no more than trying to hold them down normally)
