  • Publication number: 20120150132
    Abstract: An attachment for use with a unit dose eye drop dispenser comprises a tapered receptacle and a lateral positioning arm. The tapered receptacle is “squeezable” so that a reservoir of the unit dose dispenser can be placed within the receptacle and the walls of the receptacle squeezed to dispense a droplet. The positioning arm is shaped to be placed over the patient's nosebridge to properly position the receptacle over the eye for optimum placement of an eye drop.

  • Publication number: 20090082739
    Abstract: A drop metering device for use in combination with an eye dropper or other liquid dispenser comprises a rigid receptacle having an open chamber for removably receiving a squeeze bottle of the dropper. The plunger is mounted to reciprocate radially inwardly with respect to the rigid receptacle so that, when the squeeze bottle is in place, a controlled deflection can be induced in the squeeze bottle. The plunger may be mounted on a lever arm with a ring adjustment mechanism which provides a variable stop surface between the lever arm and the receptacle. Alternatively, the plunger may be mounted in a radially oriented slide bearing with a threadably mounted stop member for adjusting the length of travel.
