EPS Inc (Ivyland,
Pa) has introduced
the Autodrop and
Autosqueeze instillation
aids for patients who require ophthalmic
preparations but have difficulty
taking them. The Autodrop device clips
onto the majority of eyedrop bottles and
holds the bottle at the correct angle over
the eye. A small lip holds the lower eyelid
open to prevent blinking, while a unique
pinhole directs the eyesight upward, away
from the descending drops. The
Autosqueeze device helps patients with
weak or arthritic fingers easily grasp and
dispense ophthalmic medication. The
product works by simply clipping the
dropping bottle into the device and
squeezing to administer the drops.
Autodrop and Autosqueeze can be used
together to further ease medication dispensing.
The products also can be used
throughout the entire course of therapy.
