ABSTRACT:
An ophthalmic drug dispensing system in the form of a hand held device constructed of a soft pliable material with a bleb or bulbous area in its forward portion. Contained within the bleb is a fluid chamber which is connected to an orifice located in one end of the dispensing system.
In use, the chamber is filed with a drug or medication and the device is inserted between the sclera of the eye and the upper eyelid with the bleb contacting the inner surface of the eyelid. Due to the pressure of the inner side of the upper eyelid upon the bleb, the drug or medication is forced from the chamber and out through the orifice by way of the channel.
