Researchers in the USA now have developed a new kind of eyedropper that can deliver only the necessary amount of liquid and thus prevent spillage. It has got some significant advantage over the traditional ones in reducing waste and preventing dangerous adverse effects. Eyedrops are essential to treat dry eyes and several other ophthalmologic conditions. However, the traditional design of the eyedroppers lacks the preciseness to dispense tiny droplets of the medicine.
The opening of a traditional eyedropper produces drops that are 4-5 times the capacity of the eye leading to an overflow, wastage, and most importantly overdose . With an advanced micro-dose delivery system this new eyedropper has been demonstrated to achieve comparable treatment efficacy while dispensing less than the 1/4 th amount of the drug . On top of that, the micro-dose delivery system reduces the drug exposure to…
