Wanted: eye flushing video

Essentially, i'm looking for an informative and clear VIDEO of how to help flush out a chameleons eye. I've searched the forums with no luck.

I am just unclear of what to do once they initially clean their eye. I try and just softly mist or drop water onto the closed eye lid, and I'm sure water is going in but I'd like a better reference rather than just think I am getting water in to help. As well, how much water should be going in there.
 
Sorry, I havent seen anything like that.
I can tell you what I do if u are interested

I use a washed out Afrin nasal spray bottle and fill it with eye wash solution
like the kind you buy, only I dilute it with distilled water 1:3.

I hold the cham as still as possible (this is the hard part) and irragate the eye by squirting lightly a steady stream right into the eye untill the bottle is half empty.

The cham fights and sturggles to get free, so need to have a firm grip on him
