How does everyone do theirs? Like, I draw it up to what I think is the dose based on the lines, then check it with my digital caliper with magnifying glasses. If it’s too much I gently nudge the plunger just enough till I see a drop start to form. Some plungers aren’t as sensitive as others and I’ve accidentally squeezed out too much. When this happens I just try snd draw a little more in, but it’s become a skill I think more than anything.

just trying to figure out if my way is best to show somebody (a care taker) or what do you guys do?
There has to be even easier methods that at least are easy to teach
 
I have been giving Sister 1 drop for a while now. I do not use calipers, but on mornings when my vision seems a bit burry for some reason, I have a magnifying glass nearby.
I load up in the kitchen in front of a window for light.
I find that for a precise amount, I gently twist the plunger and apply even pressure so that it just kisses the last line, leaving no light. If I go to far, I pull back a smidge.
Before someone mentioned twisting, I was only pushing and that did not work as well as I would often push beyond the intended line.
