To enable the accurate application of the eye medication into an inpatient's eye during the recovery stages of treatment for cataract disease, an easy to use eye drop assisting device which can be operated with one hand was tested.
The device tested was pharmaceutically evaluated regarding such points as the ability for the eye medication container to be fixed onto the device, the ability to maintain a suitable height for the application while taking into account the length of the eyelashes, and the sense of comfort for the patient's face while using this device.
As a result, by making a slit on to the eye drop assisting device, the solution container could be easily fixed to the device. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the recommended height of the device should be 46mm.
Since this drop assisting device can be operated by one hand, it was determined that inpatients with ophthalmic disease could also use this device just the same as cataract inpatients do.
