Abstract

Precision lid retracting eyedropper device with a hollow, rigid housing having an upper aperture that allows a push button topped piston to enter the housing where the piston can impinge on a resilient tubular member that is part of a pump assembly. The housing also includes a solution storing chamber that feeds solution to the pump assembly. A solution exit tube attached to the outgoing portion of the pump assembly emanates from the bottom part of the housing and can be directed towards the user's eye. Integral downwardly facing resilient legs are placed just above and below the user's orbital ridge so that when the legs are squeezed and released, the user's eye lids are forced open allowing the user to dispense a precise amount of solution into his or her eye. A precision eye drop solution container having the ability to retain and dispense a precise single portion of eye drop solution each time the user depresses an actuator device located on and within the housing of the container. The container includes downwardly facing legs and feet that are parallel to each other and spaced so that the foot of each leg can align and make contact with the upper and lower orbital socket of the user. The feet have rubber-like under surfaces whose soft yet gripping quality acts to help hold the eye lids of the user in the open position. The dispensing action can be automated and an LED light indicating that dispensing has occurred.
