Eye drop aids

Abstract

Traditionally, when applying eye drops, people look up, lightly open their eyelids with their fingers, and place the dropper at a certain distance from the eye dropper. However, this can be difficult to do, and timing can make it necessary to apply the dropper multiple times. Applying eye drops to other people, such as children, sick people, or the elderly, is more difficult, and requires clean and safe application. [Solution] To make instillation easier, the assistant is placed above and below the eye to keep the eye open, and the eye drops are dispensed through the hole, allowing for highly accurate instillation at the correct distance and position from the eye. Furthermore, its flat shape makes it easy to store and carry. It can be disinfected and reused.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention provides an eye dropper that maintains a certain distance between the container and the eye when applying eye drops from the container, and also allows the eye to be opened fully, allowing for clean and safe application of eye drops. [Background technology]

[0002] There are a variety of tools used to administer eye drops. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2007-275539 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Traditionally, when applying eye drops, people look up, lightly open their eyelids with their fingers, and place the dropper at a certain distance from the eye dropper. However, this can be difficult to do, and timing can make it necessary to apply the dropper multiple times. Applying eye drops to other people, such as children, sick people, or the elderly, is more difficult, and requires clean and safe application. The eye drop aid disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been disclosed, but since the shape is fixed by bending, it is necessary to cut and adjust the length, and there is a high possibility that it will deteriorate if bent repeatedly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention is an eye drop aid having a hole in the center of a flat, almost rectangular body that can be elastically deformed. The eye drop aid is held by pinching it with two fingers, avoiding the hole, and arching it. Using the force of the flat plate returning to its original shape, the eye is placed above and below the eye to open it, and the tip of an eye drop container is inserted into the hole to create a distance between the eye and the tip of the eye drop container, allowing the eye to be opened and kept clean while applying eye drops. Unlike the eye drop aid of Patent Document 1, there is no need to fold it to fix the shape or cut the pier to adjust the size to suit the individual. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] To make instillation easier, the device is placed above and below the eye to keep the eye open, and the instillation is then performed through the hole, allowing for highly accurate instillation at the correct distance and position from the eye. Furthermore, its flat shape makes it easy to store and carry. It can be sterilized and reused. Because of its simple shape, it does not require any technical skills to manufacture, and it could potentially be disposable in hospital facilities. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] As shown in Figure 1, a hole 2 is provided in the center of a flat plate-shaped main body 1 made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber, and the finger contact part 3 is held by the fingers so that the gripping end 4 is placed above and below the eye. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] This eye drop aid has a hole in the center of a flat, elastically deformable body that is approximately rectangular in plan view, and the eye drop aid allows the user to hold the body with two fingers avoiding the hole and arch it, and by utilizing the force of the body trying to return to its original shape, place each end of the body above and below the eye to open it, insert the tip of an eye drop container into the hole to create a distance between the eye and the tip of the eye drop container, and keep the eye well opened to apply eye drop while keeping it clean.
