To reduce adverse effects: if you do not close your eye properly after using eye drops, some of the fluid may leak into your nose and throat. Here it could cross the mucous membranes and be absorbed into your body. This is more likely to lead to adverse effects than if the drops stay in your eye.
If you notice a taste, the easiest way to prevent it is to try nasolacrimal occlusion. After putting in your eyedrops, lightly and carefully press down along the inner corners of your eyes next to the bridge of your nose. This can “plug” your puncta and prevent extra medication from reaching your throat.
Many patients report that eye drops can cause a funny taste in the back of their throat after placing the drops in their eyes. This makes sense as the eye drops drain into the tear ducts, then into the nose, and then into the throat where they can be tasted.
You may get a taste of eye drops in your mouth, or a feeling that the drops are running down your throat. This is normal as the tear duct which drains tears to your nose will also drain some of the eye drop. To prevent this gently press on the tear duct for a minute or so after applying the drop.
It's actually not unusual to have people taste their eye drops, though most don't complain of it. It occurred to me that most people probably don't know why they can taste eye drops. So, here's the reason. Everyone has a small drain in the corner of each eyelid by the side of your nose.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membrane-enclosed tubules and sacs (cisternae) that extends from the nuclear membrane throughout the cytoplasm (Figure 9.1). The entire endoplasmic reticulum is enclosed by a continuous membrane and is the largest organelle of most eukaryotic cells.
The driveway width as you drive around the circle cut out should be at least 10 feet. If you use 10 feet, double that near the front door so that another car can park or pass through. Another option is to make the entire width 20 feet wide for two cars to fit side by side.
