User Guide

Welcome to the Eye Drop Assistant! This guide will walk you through scheduling and managing your medication.

Getting Started

After installing the add-on, open Google Calendar. You will find the Eye Drop Assistant icon (💧) in the right-hand sidebar. Click it to open the main interface.

Scheduling Modes

The add-on offers two powerful scheduling modes:

1. Static Schedule

This mode is for creating a schedule with a fixed number of doses per day for a set duration.

  • How to use: Select "Static Schedule", enter the number of "Times per day", and the "Duration (Days)".
  • Result: The add-on will create events evenly spaced between your selected "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for the number of days you specified.

2. Sliding Taper

This mode automates a standard 7-week tapering protocol, which is common for post-operative care. The schedule is as follows:

  • Week 1: Hourly
  • Week 2: 6 times per day
  • Week 3: 5 times per day
  • Week 4: 4 times per day
  • Week 5: 3 times per day
  • Week 6: 2 times per day
  • Week 7: 1 time per day

You can also extend the final "1x/day" phase by entering a number in the "Extend '1x/day' by (weeks)" field.

Removing a Schedule

To safely remove all events associated with a medication:

  1. Enter the exact same "Eye Drop Name" you used when creating the schedule.
  2. Select the correct calendar.
  3. Click the "Remove Events" button. You will be asked to confirm before deletion.

This action is safe and will only delete events that were created by this add-on for that specific medication name.
