ABSTRACT:
An eye drop dispenser having a dropper tube and a dispensing sleeve. The dropper tube has a liquid reservoir portion and has a dispensing end with a dropper orifice. At least part of the reservoir portion of the dropper tube is made of a resilient material. The dispensing sleeve has a sleeve portion which circumscribes the dropper tube and a pair of legs which extend beyond the dispensing end of the dropper tube. The legs of the dispensing sleeve are adapted to fit against upper and lower orbital areas of an eye in order to support the dropper orifice over the eye. A pair of squeeze members is carried by the dispensing sleeve. Each squeeze member has a rigid squeeze surface disposed toward the dropper tube in an opposing relationship to the other squeeze surface. In use, the eye drop dispenser is positioned with the legs of the dispensing sleeve against upper and lower orbital areas of the eye. Then the dispensing sleeve is squeezed such that the squeeze members deform the dropper tube inwardly to force a drop of liquid through of the dropper orifice of the dropper tube and into the eye.
