So I finally mixed up my alpha lipoic acid eye drops this evening. Here's what I did::

I initially assembled all materials with the glass pipettes (per instructions posted earlier by Hamishm00.

 

But after reading instructions carefully, I decided I would just use two containers - 1. a mixing container (square clear glass spice jar) and 2. a final dispensing container (thoroughly-cleaned and distiled-water rinsed melatonin dropper)

 

 

 

To open one of the 5ml Brite Eyes containers, you need to remove the collar, then screw down to pop a hole

 

Then, I poured the entire contents into the glass spice jar

Next, I measured out 100 mg of the stabilized NA-R-ALA

 

 

 

Added to the glass spice jar

 

Then mixed to dissovle. It dissolved almost immediately. And no residue at all.

 

Finally I topped of off the spice jar with another 4ml or so of distilled water - and then transferred from glass spice jar to the final dispensing container.

My final product in the dispensing container:

Very thorough and exactly the way I would have done it. You have over a 1% solution there it seems.

 

BTW - those pipettes are HUGE, I am glad you decided not to use those. The ones I have are very small, and perfect for eyedropping (they also have an angled end). 

 

Good luck with progress. I had great success with the formula you have made (although I didn't use pure powder like you have). Your views on "stinging" would be appreciated.
