[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, eye health issues have received increasing attention. As an important medication for treating eye diseases, the accuracy of the application method and dosage of eye ointments has a significant impact on treatment efficacy. However, there are some obvious limitations in the traditional use of eye ointments.

[0003] First, traditional eye ointments require patients to squeeze out the ointment themselves, making dosage control difficult. Due to varying hand strength, the amount squeezed out is often inaccurate, potentially leading to insufficient or excessive application, thus affecting efficacy. Second, traditional eye ointments lack a timer function, requiring patients to remember the application time, which can easily result in missed or incorrect uses, especially for the elderly or those with poor memory. Applying eye ointment on time can be challenging. Some patients require a mirror for assistance, increasing the complexity of the process. Others estimate the distance between the ointment bottle and their eye, often pressing the ointment too close to the eyeball or holding it too high, making application inconvenient, potentially contaminating the bottle, and posing a risk of eye damage, while also affecting the medication's effectiveness. Furthermore, eye ointment is rarely used completely, often leaving residue, leading to waste, and the squeezing process itself is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
