[0032] As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present invention provides an eye drop assistant, comprising: a fixing frame 1, a mirror 2 and a positioning rod 3,

[0033] The fixing frame 1 is used to fix the medicine bottle. The height of the fixing frame 1 is lower than the height of the medicine bottle so that the mouth of the medicine bottle extends from the top surface of the fixing frame 1. In addition, the side wall of the fixing frame 1 is hollowed out.

[0034] The mirror 2 is hinged to the side of the top surface of the fixing frame 1 and is used to assist observation;

[0035] The positioning rod 3 is arranged on the side of the fixing frame 1 , and the positioning rod 3 is retractable relative to the top surface of the fixing frame 1 .

[0036] To address the problems of the prior art, the present application provides an eye drop assistant, comprising: a holder 1, a mirror 2, and a positioning rod 3. The holder 1 is used to secure a medicine bottle, and the holder 1 is lower than the height of the medicine bottle so that the bottle mouth protrudes from the top surface of the holder 1. The sidewall of the holder 1 has a hollow portion. The mirror 2 is hingedly connected to the side of the top surface of the holder 1 to assist in observation. The positioning rod 3 is disposed on the side of the holder 1 and is retractable relative to the top surface of the holder 1. The eye drop assistant provided by the present application utilizes the holder 1 to secure the eye drop bottle. The mirror 2 then assists the patient in observing and confirming that the position of the eye drop bottle mouth is aligned with the eye drop position. The positioning rod 3 extends an appropriate distance relative to the top surface of the holder 1 (i.e., relative to the bottle mouth) to assist the patient in determining the distance between the eye drop bottle mouth and the eye. Thus, the distance and position of the bottle mouth are determined. The patient then squeezes the bottle through the hollow portion of the sidewall of the holder 1 to cause the medicine to drip, completing the eye drop administration process. The eye drop assistant provided in this application can help patients accurately judge the position of eye drops and the distance between the bottle mouth and the eyes, solving the problems caused by improper placement of position or distance. Patients can complete the eye drop operation independently and in a standardized manner, thereby improving patients' compliance with the standardized use of eye drops and reducing the infection rate caused by improper operation.

[0037] At the same time, the eye drop assistant provided in this application has a mirror 2 hinged to the fixing frame 1, and a positioning rod 3 fixed to the fixing frame 1 and can be retracted and stored, so that the entire eye drop assistant can be directly put on the outside of the eye drop bottle, which is easy to carry and can be used at any time.

[0038] Preferably, a fixing component 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing frame 1 for clamping the medicine bottle;

[0039] The fixing component 11 is any one of a buckle, a strap or a clamp.

[0040] Preferably, a fixing member 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing frame 1 for clamping the medicine bottle. When the medicine bottle is placed in the fixing frame 1 and turned upside down for eye drop operation, the fixing member 11 prevents the medicine bottle from moving relative to the fixing frame 1, making it more stable and easier to operate.

[0041] The fixing member 11 is any one of a buckle, a strap or a clamp, which can quickly and conveniently fix the medicine bottle. When the strap is used, the strap is operated from the hollowed-out side wall of the fixing frame 1.

[0042] Preferably, the top surface of the fixing frame 1 is closed by an elastic covering layer, and the elastic covering layer is provided with an opening 12 for inserting a medicine bottle.

[0043] Preferably, the elastic covering layer is made of silicone.

[0044] Preferably, the top surface of the fixing frame 1 is closed by an elastic covering layer, and the elastic covering layer is provided with an opening 12 for inserting the medicine bottle, which has a wide adaptability to eye drop bottles of different shapes and is easy to operate; after the medicine bottle is placed in the fixing frame 1, the elastic covering layer outside the opening 12 can also play a role in stabilizing the position of the bottle mouth of the medicine bottle.

[0045] More preferably, the elastic covering layer is made of silicone.

[0046] Preferably, the mirror 2 is provided with a mirror surface on one side, and when the mirror 2 is rotated to be close to the mouth of the medicine bottle, the mirror surface of the mirror 2 faces the medicine bottle; and / or,

[0047] A light source is also provided on the periphery of the mirror 2.

[0048] Mirror 2 can achieve its function by having a mirror surface on one side. Specifically, when mirror 2 is rotated close to the mouth of the medicine bottle, the mirror surface of mirror 2 faces the medicine bottle. If mirror 2 is rotated close to the fixed frame 1, the mirror surface is located away from the fixed frame 1.

[0049] When using eye drops, patients need to pull open their lower eyelids and drip the eye drops into the conjunctiva of the lower eyelid fornix to minimize the chance of the eye drops dripping directly onto the cornea. After pulling open the lower eyelids, the wrinkled area inside the eyelids visible is the target drop location, which is a certain distance from the pupil. The eye drop aid provided in this application is equipped with a rotatable mirror 2. The distance between the mirror 2 and the opening of the eye drop bottle is adapted to the distance between the patient's pupil and lower eyelid, so that the eye condition can be directly observed through the mirror 2, facilitating alignment.

[0050] When the patient is recumbent and using eye drops, the angle between mirror 2 and the side wall (vertical surface) of holder 1 can be adjusted to 90°. At this point, holder 1 and the bottle of eye drops are perpendicular to the eye, while the mirror surface of mirror 2 is parallel to the eye, allowing direct observation of the eye. If the patient is sitting and tilting their head back less than 90° while using eye drops, the eye can be observed by adjusting the mirror surface while the eye drops are perpendicular to the eye. If the patient tilts back less than 90°, the mirror surface can be adjusted to a greater angle than 90°. The specific angle can be adjusted based on the patient's usage to achieve optimal eye observation.

[0051] By setting appropriate damping, the angle of the mirror 2 can be freely adjusted.

[0052] The periphery of the preferred mirror 2 is also provided with a light source, which is convenient for the patient to see the eye and the eye drop bottle position more clearly. The light source can adopt a battery-powered small light bulb, and several light bulbs are arranged around the mirror 2.

[0053] Preferably, the positioning rod 3 includes a fixed section 31 and a telescopic section 32 which are sleeved together, and the telescopic direction of the telescopic section 32 is perpendicular to the top surface of the fixing frame 1 .

[0054] The positioning rod 3 preferably includes a fixed section 31 and a telescopic section 32 that are telescoped together. The telescopic section 32 extends and retracts perpendicular to the top surface of the mounting bracket 1. Based on the desired distance between the medicine bottle and the eye during eye drops, the telescopic section 32 is pre-extended to a predetermined distance relative to the fixed section 31. The patient then holds the eye drop dispenser with the end of the telescopic section 32 facing away from the fixed section 31 touching the skin. This helps determine the distance between the bottle opening and the eye, solving the problem of the eye drop bottle opening being too close or too far from the eye during medication administration.

[0055] Proper damping is provided between the telescopic section 32 and the fixed section 31 to ensure that the patient can freely adjust the distance and that the length remains stable and does not change easily during the eye drop operation in contact with the skin.

[0056] The eye drop assistant can standardize the patient's operation of using eye drops through the functions of the mirror 2 and the positioning rod 3, making it easier for the patient to keep the distance between the eye drop bottle mouth and the eyes at 1-2 cm, and at the same time, the position of the eye drops is on the lower eyelid fornix.

[0057] Preferably, the fixed section 31 and the telescopic section 32 are respectively provided with scales.

[0058] More preferably, the fixed section 31 and the telescopic section 32 are respectively provided with scales to facilitate the patient to confirm whether the distance is appropriate, and the length of the positioning rod 3 can be quickly adjusted according to the scale for the same eye drops to ensure that the distance is appropriate when the eye drops are applied multiple times.

[0059] Preferably, the telescopic section 32 includes a first telescopic section and a second telescopic section which are nested with each other, and the first telescopic section is located between the second telescopic section and the fixed section 31 .

[0060] The telescopic section 32 can be one section or two sections. Specifically, the telescopic section 32 includes a first telescopic section and a second telescopic section that are nested with each other, and the first telescopic section is located between the second telescopic section and the fixed section 31 .

[0061] Preferably, the length of the second telescopic section when fully extended is 1.5-2 cm, the length of the first telescopic section when fully extended is 2-2.5 cm; and the length of the fixed section 31 is 2.5-3 cm.

[0062] When two telescopic sections 32 are provided, the length of each section is preferably: the length of the second telescopic section when fully extended is 1.5-2 cm, the length of the first telescopic section when fully extended is 2-2.5 cm; the length of the fixed section 31 is 2.5-3 cm.

[0063] The length of the fixing section 31 may be the same as or different from the height of the fixing frame 1. Preferably, the length of the fixing section 31 is the same as or different from the height of the fixing frame 1.

[0064] Preferably, a silicone pad is provided on the protruding end of the positioning rod 3 .

[0065] Preferably, a silicone pad is provided on the protruding end of the positioning rod 3 (ie, the end that contacts the patient's skin) to improve the patient's comfort.
