Abstract

The present invention relates to an eye drop assisting device, and in an eye drop assisting device that assists an eye drop container to administer eye drops to a user's eye, the eye drop assisting device comprises: a nose pad having an adjustment means extendable in the longitudinal direction so as to be placed between the eyebrows and adjusted in length to correspond to the position of both eyes according to the user's physical condition; The present invention relates to an eye drop assist device that is easy to carry, adjustable to individual physical conditions, allows for convenient administration of an appropriate amount of eye drops, and enables hygienic maintenance. The device is formed as a single unit and includes an eye drop means provided on each side of a nose pad for gripping an eye drop container and administering eye drops toward the eye. The nose pad is divided into a first block and a second block based on the glabella, wherein an adjustment groove having a predetermined depth is formed in the first block in a portion opposing the second block, and an adjustment bar extending to a predetermined length is formed in the second block in a portion opposing the first block, and the adjustment bar is inserted into the adjustment groove in a retractable manner to allow for length adjustment. When the first block and the second block are assembled as a single unit, a nose pad groove curved to correspond to the shape of the nose is formed at the bottom.

Description

Eye drop assist device The present invention relates to an ophthalmic aid, and more specifically, to an ophthalmic aid that is easy to carry, adjustable to an individual's physical condition, allows for convenient administration of an appropriate dosage, and enables hygienic maintenance. Generally, there was a problem where the medication was not properly absorbed due to the eyelids instinctively closing when users administered eye drops, and in particular, users such as contact lens wearers or patients with dry eye syndrome need to use eye drops frequently. To solve these problems, existing patent literature has been proposed. Patent Document 1 describes a technology that assists in eye drops by including a support member that adheres to the eyelid to prevent the user's eyes from blinking. However, it has the disadvantage that the adhesive part pokes the eye and causes corneal damage, and the disadvantage that eye drops must be applied alternately to each eye. Patent Document 2 fixes the eye drop container through a mounting portion having a protrusion that adheres to the eyelid so as not to blink the user's eye, but, like Patent Document 1, it has the disadvantage that the protrusion pokes the eye and causes corneal damage, and the disadvantage that eye drops must be administered alternately to each eye. Patent Document 3 allows eye drops to be administered according to the position of the eye through a connecting part that adheres to the eyelid so as not to blink the user's eye, but it has the disadvantage that the connecting part pokes the eye and causes corneal damage, and the disadvantage that eye drops must be administered alternately to each eye once. Patent Document 4 has the problem of wasting eye drops and the inconvenience of eye drops getting on the skin or clothes as the eye drops are sprayed or sprayed around the eyes and run down through the nozzle part. Patent Document 5 is a technology that includes a contact part coupled to the opening of a multi-use eye drop container and contacts the skin around the eye. Similar to Patent Document 1, it has the disadvantage that the contact part pokes the eye and causes corneal damage, and the disadvantage that eye drops must be administered alternately to each eye. Patent Document 6 is coupled to the opening of a multi-use eye drop container and can prevent the eye drops from being lost to the tear glands by applying pressure to the auxiliary support part in the inner part between the eye and the nose, but it has the disadvantage that the eye drops must be applied alternately to each eye. In other words, Patent Documents 1 to 6 are proposed for the purpose of administering eye drops according to the position of the eye, but they have the disadvantage of not being able to administer eye drops to both eyes simultaneously or administer an appropriate amount of eye drops because they must be administered alternately to one eye, and they have the problem of not proposing a design that takes hygiene into consideration.
