Gulden Introduces New Patient-Friendly Eye Drop Dispensers

The new eye drop dispensers help overcome many patient problems and obstacles of eye drop use – helping to encourage compliance and efficacy.

ELKINS PARK, PA – Gulden Ophthalmics has added to its extensive line of patient aids a new series of eye drop dispensers. The dispensers help patients use their eye drops effectively, overcome many obstacles to use, and help ensure the efficacy of the instilled medication.

Non-compliance of eye drop use is a major problem in terms of treating patients with diseases and conditions such as glaucoma, eye infections, dry eyes, Uveitis, and allergies, to name just a few. Patient difficulties in properly instilling drops are often a result of unsteady hands, inability to grip and squeeze small eye drop bottles, a blink reaction to the bottle tip nearing the eye, missing the eye with the drop, etc. Often, patients don’t realize they are not instilling drops properly and then repeat their bad habits. This might especially be the case with older patients who suffer from arthritis or Parkinson’s … and younger patients who often rush through their eye drop treatment routine.

The new eye drop dispensers make it easy to comply with medication treatment routines and are advantageous for the people who struggle with eye drops. In addition to fostering compliance, the new eye drop dispensers boost confidence and support independence. They are also quite useful in hospital, clinic, or office settings where drops must be instilled accurately, yet where time is valuable.

The design of the dispenser simplifies using eye drops by making squeezing the bottles easier. The unique shape and texture help create a better grip, increasing user ability and accuracy. The design of the eye piece helps “aim” the correct placement of the drop in the eye, and is designed for comfort and safety. The eye piece also holds the upper lid to eliminate the blink reflex problem. The drop dispensers can be used with almost all round and oval eye drop bottles. They easily fit into a pocket or handbag, and their durable construction makes them ideal for long term use and utility.

The eye drop dispensers are available in five colors – red, blue, orange, green, and yellow – to help patients and practioners keep track of different medications.
