Eye drops reminder on WhatsApp

Updated 31 October 2026.

An eye drops reminder on WhatsApp is a set of messages at each time your drops are due, often several a day, stopping when the course ends. With Mindie, send "every day at 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm until 6 December remind me to put in the eye drops" once, and you'll get all four each day until the 6th.

Eye drop courses after cataract surgery or an infection are short but demanding: several times a day, sometimes with more than one kind of drop. Missed doses are common, especially in the middle of the day.

Mindie

on WhatsApp

• Four times a day for a week

  Every day at 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm until 6 December remind me to put in the eye drops

• Two kinds of drops

  Every day at 9am and 9pm remind me to use the pressure drops, wait 5 minutes, then the lubricating drops

• A refill

  Remind me on 20 November at 6pm to buy more eye drops

When to set it

• At each dose time your doctor gave you.
• With an end date, so the reminders stop when the course does.
• A refill reminder before the bottle runs out.

Why doses get missed

• Midday doses. Morning and night fit routines; noon and 4pm don't.
• Several drops. Two kinds with a wait between them is easy to muddle.
• Short courses. There's no time to build a habit.

Habits that help

• Put the order in the reminder, like "pressure drops, wait 5 minutes, then the lubricating drops".
• Keep the bottle where you'll be at each reminder time.
• Note any problems to mention at the follow-up visit.

How Mindie handles it

Send all the times in one message with an end date. Mindie confirms each daily reminder and stops after the date. Reply to move one if your day changes.

What Mindie doesn't do

• It isn't medical advice. Follow your doctor's schedule.
• It isn't an alarm. Each reminder is a WhatsApp message.
