ABSTRACT:
An ophthalmic applicator device for mechanically inserting solid medicaments in the form of inserts into the cul-de-sac of the eye, comprising an elongated tip of non-toxic, pliable material terminating in a groove through an end of said tip sufficient to form two flexible, opposed termini of said tip whereby said insert is releasably gripped by frictional engagement between said termini; said groove having cross-sectional conformation and dimensions sufficient to releasably grip said insert, and at least one dimension sufficiently less than the greatest dimension of said insert to result in removal of said insert from the ophthalmic applicator device by contact of said insert with the cul-de-sac of the eye; and a handle attached to said tip at the end of said tip opposite said termini, and forming an interior angle therewith of from about 30.degree. to about 120.degree..
