98: Eye Drop Assist Device with Receiving Section and Cushion Contact for Accurate Application | Patent Drawing

Overview of the Patent Drawing

This drawing depicts an eye drop assist device placed against the inner corner of the eye (100). The structure includes a receiving section (51) that holds or guides the eye drop fluid, and a cushion contact member (52) that makes gentle contact with the skin at the eye corner to stabilize the device. The user’s hand positions the device precisely, ensuring drops are delivered into the eye with minimal spillage or discomfort.

Patent Insight 1: Receiving Section for Accurate Delivery

The receiving section (51) acts as a miniature reservoir or funnel to capture eye drops and guide them toward the eye. This feature ensures that even if drops miss slightly from the bottle, they are collected and redirected into the correct spot.

Patent Insight 2: Cushion Contact Member for Comfort and Stability

The cushion contact member (52) is designed to gently press against the inner eye corner (100). This prevents slipping, reduces discomfort, and provides a consistent alignment point, making self-application reliable and safe.

Patent Insight 3: Targeting the Inner Eye Corner (100)

Positioning the device at the inner corner of the eye ensures that fluid naturally flows into the eye by following its anatomical structure. This clever use of the body’s own contours makes the design efficient and intuitive.

Thoughts on the Patent Drawing

I find this design refreshingly human-centered. It doesn’t try to overcomplicate eye care with electronics or automation—it simply respects how tricky it is to get a tiny drop into such a sensitive spot. By stabilizing against the eye corner, the device transforms an anxious, clumsy motion into something guided and gentle. Personally, I like how the cushion part suggests empathy: it’s not just functional, it’s made to feel kind against the skin. It makes me imagine eye care as less of a chore and more of a ritual. 👁️💧

Application of the Technology: “Guided Micro-Dose Delivery Systems”

Purpose

The abstracted innovation is about using anatomical landmarks plus soft contact points to guide precise delivery of liquids into small, sensitive areas. The goal is accuracy, safety, and user comfort.

System Components

• Receiving Section (51): Functions as a funnel or reservoir to capture liquid and guide it.
• Cushion Contact Member (52): A soft stabilizing element that ensures consistent placement without irritation.
• Anatomical Landmark Reference (100): Using natural body contours (eye corner, nostril base, ear canal entrance) as positioning anchors.

Operational Flow

1. Abstraction – Guided Micro-Dosing: Delivering precise amounts of liquid via devices that “anchor” themselves using the body’s own shapes.
2. Transfer – Other Applications:
   • Nasal medicine: guiding applicators anchored at nostril edges for allergy sprays.
   • Ear drops: soft-cushioned guides that stabilize at the outer ear canal.
   • Skincare: serum applicators that align with under-eye or lip contours for even spread.
3. Concrete Application – Future Products:
   • Smart Eye Drop Guides: Integrated sensors that detect proper alignment at the tear duct before releasing a drop.
   • Universal Micro-Dose Pods: Refillable, cushion-tipped devices for multi-purpose use (eye, nose, ear).
   • Therapeutic AR Glasses: Spectacles incorporating micro-reservoirs that auto-release drops or serums in precise doses while monitoring hydration and stress levels.

This invention highlights how the simple act of guiding liquid with anatomical landmarks and soft stabilizers can evolve beyond eye care, opening new possibilities for precise, comfortable, and human-centered micro-dose delivery systems across medicine, wellness, and even future wearable technologies.
