Abstract: The container for medical ophthalmic preparations has an exit opening which is formed in an arcuate indentation of the container wall that passes at both sides into a respective arcuate bulge. The container is placed with said wave-like container wall on the area of the eyebrow and cheekbones, the indentation making sure that there is no contact with the surface of the eye. A protective cap for a conventional container for medical ophthalmic preparations has a corresponding wave-like contour. Said contour ensures a safety distance from the eye, which excludes any injuries. The container and the protective cap can be handled easily in the case of a self-administration of the eye drops—even by persons with motoric disorders.
