Answer to Question 1

30 drops per minute. Microdrip tubing (60 drops per mL) delivers the same number of drops per minutes as mL per hr.

Answer to Question 2

Microdrip tubing has smaller diameter and delivers smaller drops (60 drops per mL). Macrodrip tubing has larger diameter and delivers larger drops (10, 15, or 20 drops per mL).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
