ABSTRACT:
An eye drop dispensing device (10), designed to replace the cap (18) of an eye drop squeeze bottle (12) includes a positioning member (38). The positioning member is brought to bear against a boundary (54) of a patient's (14) lower eyelid (36), and the assembly (52) rotated about the member to bring a nozzle tip (24) of the device in facing relation with the eye (32). Besides providing stability to the assembly, the member assists in the eversion of the lower eyelid to form a well-like configuration (61) to receive drops (28). Thus, the patient may maintain a primary gaze position (17), facilitating the eye drop dispensing procedure.
