ABSTRACT:
An eye drop application aid for self-application of droplets of ophthalmic solution by an individual includes a housing having a top, side walls and an open bottom, with the lower periphery of the side walls being contoured to conform to the facial area surrounding the eye socket. The housing top includes an eye drop dispenser seat with a central droplet discharge aperture therethrough for receiving and supporting the dispensing end of an eye drop dispenser. A vertical alignment indicator is mounted on the housing in view of the eye being treated to achieve vertical alignment of the eye drop dispenser end before dispensing droplets of ophthalmic solution to insure accurate application of the droplets to the eye. An eye distracting orifice in the housing top in view of the eye being treated focuses the eye's attention on the orifice instead of the dispenser end to avoid premature blinking before the droplet has contacted the eye. Removeably mounted dispenser seats are utilized to permit interchangeability of differently configured dispenser seats to accommodate dispensers of differing configurations.
