How does one adminsiter eye drops to a 2 year old ?

How ? This is not a one-man job, there is no way that one person can administer eye-drops to a child. Firstly there are the hands that are constantly trying to ward off the eye-drops. Secondly, there is the death roll, similar to when a crocodile captures a prey. Thirdly, when you have managed to hold her hands in place and prevented her from doing the death roll, you still have to deal with the tightly shut eyes. There has got to be an easier way. Or do we have live by the age old adage " They'll grow out of this phase " ? If so, I certainly hope she doesn't come down with an eye infection again.
