EYE DROP ASSISTANCE APPARATUS

An eye drop assistance apparatus 100 comprises: an air fan 101; an air chamber 102 serving as an air chamber for an airflow discharged from the air fan 101; a cylindrical air duct 104 in communication with the air chamber 102; an eye drop container fixing attachment 105 on which an eye drop container 106 is mounted so as to be replaceable and which fixes a nozzle of the eye drop container 106 so as to face downward, the nozzle being fixed onto an upper wall of an air duct 106 that is in a horizontal state; an eye drop container pressing mechanism 108 that presses a prescribed position of a side surface of the eye drop container 106 mounted on the eye drop container fixing attachment 105; and a trigger arm 107 that controls an operation of the eye drop container pressing mechanism 108. Due to this configuration, there is no need for a patient to direct their gaze upward when applying the chemical solution in the eye drop container 106, and an appropriate amount of the chemical solution can be applied while the patient is in a comfortable horizontal attitude..
