ABSTRACT:
The mirrored eye drop target is used in connection with an eye drop container. The drop or dropper target includes an elongated planar substrate having a mirrored or reflective first end segment and an adhering second end segment. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive on the second end segment is initially covered by a removable substrate or cover. After removal of the substrate (which exposes the adhesive), the planar substrate is attached to the body of the eye drop container. The mirrored or reflective first end segment is substantially vertically aligned with the eye drop spout end such that when the composite structure (the planar substrate and eye drop container) is substantially horizontally disposed, eye drops ejected from the spout end substantially fall in a single vertical line established by the visual target or on the mirrored or reflective surface, the spout end and the user's eye. In other words, when the user visually centers his or her reflected eye image in the target and aligns the image with the spout end, and when the eye dropper is substantially horizontally disposed, fluid falls into the eye upon ejection from the spout end.
