Eye Dropper With A Difference

One of the key things that eye specialists warn you about while using eye drops, is to wash your hands before handling the bottle and never to share the eye medicine. This is mainly to contain the infection from spreading and to ensure you have a speedy recovery. Easy Eye Drops is an eye medicine dropper redesign that allows you to dispense the liquid into your eye using just one hand. Generally, we need one hand to pull open the eyelids and the other to dispense the liquid, this redesign does it all in one go, making it safer and more hygienic.

As a person who gets eye infection pretty often due to regular contact lens usage, I think the design is pretty clever, especially when you have no one around to help you with the meds.

Easy Eye Drops is a 2012 IDEA Awards entry.
