Summarize the following:
Your doctor will usually prescribe one of two kinds of eye drops: antibacterial or anti-inflammatory drops. Antibacterial drops protect from infection, while anti-inflammatory drops prevent swelling. If you have trouble treating your own eyes, ask a friend or family member to help. Your doctor may also prescribe drops that keep the eye dilated, like atropine, to help prevent scarring of the pupil and pain. He may also prescribe drops to help lower the eye pressure, especially if there is gas or oil injected into the eye during surgery. Tilt your head backward and focus both eyes upward to avoid blinking. Pull your lower lid down with one finger to create a pocket under the eye, and administer the drop. Close your eyes, but don't rub them. Wait at least five minutes between administrations of each drop. Avoid touching your eye with eyedropper tip. Applying eye ointment is a lot like using eye drops. Tip your head back and gently pull down on your lower lid to form a pocket. Turn the bottle upside down over your eye and gently squeeze it to pour a thin stream of ointment into the pocket. Close the eye for about a minute to let the ointment spread over the eye and start working. Your doctor will likely tell you to clean around your eye twice a day. For example, you may boil water and place a clean washcloth into the water to sterilize it. Wash your hands to make sure they're clean, then run the washcloth gently over your upper and lower eyelids and lashes. Make sure that you also run the cloth over the corners of your eyes. Wash the cloth in boiling water or choose a fresh, clean cloth before each use. The cloth must be sterile, as eyes are vulnerable to infection after surgery.

summary: Use eye drops as directed. Administer the eye drops. Learn how to apply eye ointment. Clean your eye as directed by a doctor.

Pour boiling water into a laundry tub, sink, or bucket. Immerse only the waistband into the water using a large wooden spoon. Keep it in the water for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull up from the legs or use the wooden spoon. If you're worried about burning your hands, wear rubber gloves. Wring the waistband in a towel. Throw them into the dryer. Use high heat and dry. The waist should shrink temporarily.

summary: Boil the waistband. Remove the jeans from the hot water. Dry the jeans.

Depending on the type of biological control that you use, you may need to get a permit from your local department of wildlife or agriculture. Some species that can control lake weeds are considered invasive in particular areas, and you may not be allowed to introduce them. Always learn what your local laws are before introducing a new animal or fish into your lake. Mute swans can be released onto small lakes. As they feed on both submerged plants and algae, they may be ideal to control vegetation. Keep in mind that swans require extra care, husbandry, and protection from predators. Also known as the white amur, grass carp feed on the submersed plants in your lake. They are usually introduced into a lake to control vegetation. Keep in mind that grass carp will eat almost any submerged vegetation, not just invasive species or weeds.   Grass carp will not help much with duckweed or watermeal. It is recommended that you stock 15 to 30 fish per acre of lake. Get carp that are at least ten or twelve inches long.  Grass carp can be invasive. Check your local laws to make sure that you are allowed to use them as a biological control before you release them into your lake. If you want to target a specific weed, you may look into using insects as form of biological control. You will need to find insects that are host-specific; this means you pick a species of insects that will only eat the specific weed that you want to remove. You can research your particular weed to see if there is an insect species that may help. You might also reach out to your local department of wildlife or agriculture, Noxious Weed Control Board, or an ecologist. Do not release non-native insects until you have verified that they will only eat the plant in question and that they will have no other impact on your local ecosystem.
summary: Check your local laws. Introduce swans to the lake. Release grass carp into the lake. Research which insects may be helpful.
