Inventor(s) include Fletcher Jun Hao Ng.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention presents a universal eyedrop adapter designed for efficient and hygienic eye drop administration. The adapter features a one-way valve at the top to prevent backflow, a reduced internal lumen to minimize drop wastage, and a controlled flow design for precise dispensing. The base incorporates spiral grooves for a secure fit and to prevent outflow. Constructed with an antimicrobial material, the adapter is bug-resistant, ensuring a clean application process. The ergonomic design includes a bent angle and a rounded tip to mitigate the risk of eye injury. The administration process involves attaching the adapter to most eyedrop containers, cleaning it and the receiving periorbital region with a sterile wipe, squeezing to dispense a drop at the rounded tip, and then touching the lateral canthus. The user blinks to utilize surface tension and a lateral-to-medial movement, bringing the drop onto the ocular surface."
