Abstract:
An eye drop applicator system includes a barrel-shaped body, a stem, and a fluid directing portion. The stem is adapted to retain a fluid reservoir for providing eye drop fluid. A method for administering eye drops to an eye includes demountably coupling a fluid reservoir to a fluid directing portion associated with a barrel-shaped body so that a tip of the fluid reservoir communicates with a conduit in the fluid directing portion; rotating the barrel-shaped body against a lower eyelid to retract the eyelid and expose a cul-de-sac of the eye; and transmitting fluid from the fluid reservoir to the cul-de-sac through an opening in the fluid directing portion.
