Eye Drop Guide for Nozzle Head Bottles, No Blink Reflex, Dark Blue

I am awaiting cateract surgery and at a pre-op visit i was prescribed SOME eye drops. It was for 3 types of drops, about 750 instilled over 8 weeks. Gulp. Never having ever used eye drops before, i was faced with 11 doses, in both eyes, for a week. I tried on the first day but, due to shaky hands, found that i could not do it without poking my eyes out. Basically, i could not do it on my own. I looked for 'aids' and spotted this. It allowed me to administer the drops myself, phew. the 3 tyres of drop containers were single dose vial, bottle and tube. the vial and bottle, no probs but, the tube ended up a bit too close to the eye. i fit a loose grommet and it's ok. I probably use more each 'squeeze' but it at least goes in my eye. If the dispenser has a nozzle of some kind, then this is perfect. As i've said, without this i was lost as to how to involve other people, 10/11 times a day for 2 weeks, then 6/7 times for 6 weeks. It was a godsend for me and hopefully to others.

As others have said the hole was too small for both my post cataract eye drops, my husband slightly widened it for the drops I need the most of, the other bottle ive just had to try and get better with applying as to widen it any more would mean the first bottle would slip through too much. I guess I could have bought two and widened individually. My husband applies when he gets home but having 7 lots to apply most are in the day so im on my own. I would recommend as it does get in the right place (sit on edge of bed then lie fully flat down with eye wide open then squeeze) just be prepared you may need to tamper with hole, if you have 2 bottles with different size applicator nibs I’d order 2 straight off and save on carriage.

I'm sharing this as finding it all so frustrating after having glaucoma stents fitted/and cataracts removed while still working age, in the hope it can help others facing the same frustrations of first imbalance , then no near vision with the naked eye , and having to put up to 20 eye drops in a day over a month post op for each eye . So restricting ! This item is not to my liking personally although may help some . Bought as a panic buy post cataract op as near vision a problem now and after reading fairly positive reviews purchased as inexpensive/worth a punt . The problem for me was looking up at the hole and knowing the drop was coming , your natural instinct is to flinch and close your eye at point of impact , therefore most of droplet ends up running down closed eyelid/cheek . Some however did go in but ended up repeating drops to sort of make sure which meant wastage and possible overdosing. Actually just as easy to use dropper over naked eye however blurred. BIG Tip : I found using a 10x make up mirror with suction cups attached to wall mirror much more successful. Just magnifies eye for greater accuracy/ease . (See pic)

Very simple idea, it just about works, but not the best eye dropper available. The clue is in the price

this was purchased for someone with Parkinson's who found it easy to use with the eye drops. They have two types one for nozzle and one for flat top. The nozzle one works well.

Made for purpose

Difficult to use effectively so abandoned it

This is a useful gadget for putting drops in eyes - I purchased it for my aunt who was due to have a cataract operation (she is 92) and needed to be able to put drops in her eyes safely and effectively. This was certainly true for the pre-op drops she was prescribed but when I came to use it for the post op drops I felt the nozzle on the bottles was too long for the gadget and was worried I would damage her eye (s) This may not be the case and a false perception but it may well be worth checking it out prior to purchase. I dropped a star for this reason. Otherwise I would say it is very useful and the item was supplied quickly and efficiently.

i USED TO MISS MY EYES ALL THE TIME. WITH THIS GADGET NO MORE WASTED EYE DROPS.

This eye drop dispenser is so simple but so effective. Eye drops in both eyes in seconds and no waste. I like that it has no moving parts to break or fiddle with. Be sure to follow the directions and keep both eyes open so you don't know when the drop is coming, which avoids blinking.

Muy práctico

only for very thin eye drop nozzles
