English term or phrase: let the drop sink in

What if my hands shake?
Try turning your head to the side, so you can rest your hand on your face while using the dropper.

Then, open your eye slowly and let the drop sink in.

Russian translation:дайте капле растечься по поверхности глаза/глазного яблока

Explanation:
Капля не может ни "затечь" в глаз (затечь может только жидкость извне!), ни "проникнуть в глаз" - капли не проникают внутрь, а растекаются по поверхности глаза, следовательно, так и нужно написать.
