Abstract: The present invention discloses an automated eye-drop administration system incorporating an optical glass-slider mechanism for precise, hygienic, and contact-free delivery of ophthalmic drops. The system includes a movable transparent glass element positioned along a guided track to align the user’s eye under an optical detection module. Real-time eye tracking, retina-position analysis, and blink-detection technologies are employed to identify the eye region, monitor ocular movement, and classify eye states as open or closed before administration. A non-contact dispensing unit delivers a controlled volume of eye drops only when the system verifies stable eye openness, thereby preventing dosage variation and minimizing drug wastage. The invention further integrates a head-mounted or standalone structure equipped with an onboard processor to execute image analysis, optical alignment, and drop-delivery operations. The system provides a safe, user-friendly, and infection-free solution suitable for elderly individuals, children, and patients with limited motor ability, enabling accurate and automated ophthalmic drug administration.
