Geriatric Eye Dropper
An ergonomic eye-drop dispensing device for elderly patients and those with limited dexterity or vision.
Problem
Eye-drop application can be challenging, especially for the elderly or those with dexterity issues. Lost drops mean wasted medication and missed doses.
Solution
The device addresses wasted medication through precise delivery. The dispenser features an ergonomic design that aligns with the user's nose bridge or eyebrow ridge for easily accurate application.
Key features include grip areas for stability and compressible materials. Users can dispense drops using hand weight alone, eliminating additional gadgets while improving medication adherence.
Design considerations
Comfortable nose-bridge or eyebrow alignment. Accessibility for users with limited dexterity or vision impairments. Cost reduction through integrated design. Preventing accidental eye injuries.
