[0002] Eye drops are the most common treatment method after ophthalmic surgery. They are both convenient and targeted. The correct way to apply eye drops is to pull open the lower eyelid and drip the medicine into the conjunctival sac, not the white of the eye. As the aging problem becomes increasingly serious, there are many elderly people living alone. Due to their decreased vision, if they use their left hand to hold open the eyelid and their right hand to drip the medicine, they can no longer use a mirror to check whether they have dripped the medicine in the right place, which can easily lead to a waste of medicine. In addition, some patients have a history of cerebral infarction, which leads to unilateral limb weakness and they cannot independently operate to drip the medicine into the correct place, which not only reduces the efficacy of the operation, but also increases the risk of postoperative infection in ophthalmology.

[0003] Therefore, in response to the above technical problems, how to provide a tool for assisting precise eye drops that can be operated by the patient alone and accurately instilled is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the directions or positional relationships indicated by "upper", "lower", "front", "back", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] As shown in FIG1 , in this embodiment, an auxiliary tool for precise eye drops is provided, which includes a main body 1, a support 2, a fixing ring 4, a rotating plate 6 and a mirror 8. The main body 1 is a main bearing component, which needs to bear the medicine bottle on one hand and needs to be hand-held for operation on the other hand. The main body 1 can be a rectangular structure, or other structures that are easy to hold, such as a groove matching the curvature of a finger on the side of the main body 1, which will not be described in detail here, and all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0030] The top of the main body 1 is provided with an inclined surface with a convex middle portion and downwardly inclined sides. Please refer to FIG1. ​​Preferably, the two inclined surfaces at the top of the main body 1 are symmetrically arranged, and a rotating plate 6 is arranged on the inclined surface. Due to the existence of the inclined surface, the rotating plate 6 is also inclined. It should be noted that the inclination here refers to the inclination relative to the horizontal plane. That is to say, when the tool is used, the main body 1 is placed horizontally as a whole, and the top is naturally inclined relative to the horizontal plane due to the presence of the convex middle portion.

[0031] If a mirror 8 is arranged on the rotating plate 6, the mirror 8 will also be arranged at an angle. The mirror 8 is arranged on the end surface of the rotating plate 6 away from the main body 1. In the initial state, the mirror surface of the mirror 8 faces upward, and as the rotating plate 6 drives the mirror 8 to rotate, the mirror surface of the mirror 8 will also rotate accordingly, until the mirror 8 protrudes out of the main body 1 and faces the human eye, and at least the position of the bottle mouth of the medicine bottle and the human eye can be fed back to the human eye. It should be pointed out that due to the inclined setting of the mirror 8, the influence of the bottle body on the line of sight can be effectively avoided, so that the personnel can directly observe the position of the bottle mouth of the medicine bottle relative to the human eye through the mirror surface of the mirror 8, so as to accurately drip the eye drops.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The support member 2 is arranged at the bottom of the main body 1. The end of the support member 2 away from the main body 1 is provided with a silicone pad 3. The silicone pad 3 can be supported on the lower eyelid of the human eye, so that the conjunctival sac can leak out, which is convenient for the precise dripping of the medicine into the conjunctival sac. At the same time, the material of the silicone has a certain flexibility, which ensures the comfort level when supporting the patient's lower eyelid. At the same time, the silicone is not easy to breed bacteria. It should be disinfected with an alcohol cotton pad before use and dried to avoid infection.

[0033] The fixing ring 4 is arranged on the end surface of the main body 1, and is used to fix the medicine bottle on the main body 1, and ensure that the mouth of the medicine bottle faces the human eye. It should be noted that the fixing ring 4 does not need to lock the medicine bottle on the main body 1, but only needs to ensure that the medicine bottle does not fall off downward, and plays a certain tightening role.

[0034] In summary of the above embodiments, the present application carries the medicine bottle through the main body 1, and fixes the medicine bottle on the main body 1 through the fixing ring 4, the head of the medicine bottle is downward and faces the human eye, and at the same time, it is supported on the lower eyelid by the support member 2. Specifically, the support member 2 includes a silicone pad 3. The material of silicone is not easy to breed bacteria. Before use, it is disinfected with an alcohol cotton pad and left to dry to avoid infection. The mirror 8 is rotated to the specified position by rotating the rotating plate 6, and the human eye passes through the mouth of the medicine bottle and the position of the person in the mirror 8, so as to accurately drip eye drops.

[0035] On the basis of the above embodiment, there are two rotating plates 6, which are respectively located on two inclined surfaces, the two rotating plates 6 rotate independently, and a mirror 8 is provided on each rotating plate 6. It can be understood that due to different personal habits or different eyes to be instilled, the position of the eye penetration may be different, so mirrors 8 are provided on both inclined surfaces here, and any mirror 8 can be selected to penetrate according to actual conditions, thereby improving the comfort of the patient.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The rotating plate 6 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 through the hinge 7. The rotating plate 6 is initially in contact with the inclined surface. At this time, the mirror 8 is located at the top of the main body 1 and is easy to store. After the rotating plate 6 and the mirror 8 are rotated, and the maximum rotation angle is 180°, please refer to Figure 3. At this time, when the rotating plate 6 and the mirror 8 are rotated to the maximum angle, the plane where the rotating plate 6 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the end face of the main body 1 is located, and the mirror 8 can protrude from the end face of the main body 1 and directly correspond to the human eye, so that people can observe the mouth of the medicine bottle through the mirror 8.

[0037] In addition, an arc groove 5 is provided on the end surface of the main body 1 facing the medicine bottle, and the arc groove 5 corresponds to the position of the medicine bottle. The outer ring of the medicine bottle is partially inserted into the arc groove 5, and the opening of the medicine bottle is downward. In other words, when the medicine bottle is located on the main body 1, the arc structure of the arc groove 5 can cooperate with the outer ring of the medicine bottle, thereby clamping the partial arc structure of the outer ring of the medicine bottle to avoid sliding left and right. Of course, the arc structure of the arc groove 5 does not need to completely match the arc structure of the medicine bottle. It only needs to use the edge of the arc groove 5 to abut against the outer ring of the medicine bottle. At this time, the partial arc structure of the outer ring of the medicine bottle will naturally fall into the arc groove 5, thereby playing a certain limiting role.

[0038] In other words, the diameter of the medicine bottle is usually larger than the diameter of the arc groove 5. At this time, the outer ring of the medicine bottle cannot be completely sunk into the arc groove 5, and the outer ring of the medicine bottle will not contact the bottom of the arc groove 5, but the two edges of the arc groove 5 will limit the medicine bottle to a certain extent to prevent it from sliding left and right. The medicine bottle can rotate in the arc groove 5, but due to the presence of the fixing ring 4, the rotation of the medicine bottle will be avoided as much as possible, thereby ensuring that the bottle mouth of the medicine bottle can face the human eye and has high stability.

[0039] On this basis, the fixing ring 4 is an elastic band with elastic deformation capability, and the medicine bottle is pressed tightly against the arc groove 5 by elastic force.

[0040] The arc groove 5 limits the medicine bottle in the left and right directions, and the shoulder 51 at the bottom of the arc groove 5 can limit the medicine bottle in the axial direction to prevent the medicine bottle from falling down and contacting the eyelid. Specifically, the shoulder 51 abuts against the annular step at the head of the medicine bottle to limit the axial displacement of the medicine bottle.

[0041] The support member 2 includes a support body with a flexible metal interior and a rubber sleeve mounted on the periphery of the support body. The support body can be bent automatically according to the patient's usage habits and eye angles to ensure the patient's comfort, but it is necessary to ensure that the bottle mouth of the medicine bottle does not touch the eyelids.

[0042] In addition, the above-mentioned silicone pad 3 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the contour of the lower eyelid, so that the patient will not feel discomfort and the patient's comfort can also be improved.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0044] Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application, and the description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
