ABSTRACT:
An eyelid opener is useful for opening a person's eye in order to dispense an ophthalmic fluid into the eye. The eyelid opener comprises a collar having internal lobes arranged to enable the collar to be screwed onto the threads of an ophthalmic bottle. A shoulder extends across the collar and limits the engagement of the collar on the bottle threads. The bottle tip passes through a hole in the shoulder. To the collar are joined a pair of flexible wings. The two wings terminate in respective flanges sized and shaped to conform to substantially the length of the exteriors of the human eyelids. The wings can be squeezed together and placed on the eyelids. Releasing the wings causing them to return to their undeflected configurations and thereby open the eye. Then a drop of fluid in the bottle can be dispensed into the open eye.
