2. Description of the Related Art In the field of ophthalmic medical treatment, eye drops are treated as antiphlogistic / analgesic / astringent, or disinfection / sterilization / pupil expansion / contraction treatments, or secreted or foreign substances such as eye oils or surplus drugs after treatment. In many cases, eyewash treatment is performed as a treatment for removing the eye from the eye.

[0003] In general, when an eye drop or eye wash treatment is performed in ophthalmology, an eye drop bottle P having an enclosing bottle c provided around a spoid sp as shown in FIG. 4 or an eye wash bottle W as shown in FIG. A water receiver R as shown in FIG. 6 is generally used.

[0004] However, the conventional eye dropping bottle P is not provided with an enclosing bottle c.
Was applied to the orbit of the patient, and the eye drop treatment had to be performed by dropping or ejecting the eye drop contained in the spoid sp toward the eyeball. When the eye drop in the spoid sp disappeared, the eye drop bottle P was removed. If the eye drops were not replenished to the spoid sp, the eye drop treatment could not be continued continuously, which was very troublesome, and in addition, the bottle c was contaminated while the eye drops P was being dismounted. There is a risk of
There is room for improvement as a device for performing continuous ophthalmic treatment.

In the eye washing treatment using the eye wash bottle W and the water receiver R shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the doctor holds the eye wash bottle W and pours the treatment solution into the eyelid cleft of the patient from the cylinder mouth, and the nurse is Joint work was required to apply the water receiver R to the patient's cheek and to assist in receiving the overflowing treatment liquid. However, with regard to the eyewash bottle, although a washing solution supply device equipped with an injection gun as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-28991 has been provided, continuous eyewashing and the burden on the physician have been somewhat reduced. There was no difference that we had to deal with the deadline.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the fact that conventional equipment used for eye drops and eyewash treatments was too inconvenient and labor intensive as described above. Even if the caregivers (doctors, nurses, etc.) do not need assistance over a long period of time, they can easily and safely apply the eye drops and eyewash treatment without any trouble by simply setting. An object of the present invention is to provide a practical and practical eye-dropping device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state of use of a continuous infusion apparatus as an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing a main mechanism of the apparatus of the embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a head viewed from a lower face direction for explaining an eye drop state by the apparatus according to the embodiment.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is a binocular type eye patch. In this embodiment, the eye patch 1 is of a goggle type so that the left and right eye portions of the patient can be separately covered, and includes a bridge B and a headband H connecting the central portion.

Thus, the eye patch 1 of the present embodiment is composed of an oval flat see-through plate 11 made of methacrylic acid resin, and a mantle 12 for fitting and holding the periphery of the see-through plate 11.
When the mantle 12 is brought into contact with the periphery of the orbit with the transparent board 11 facing the eye of the patient, a watertight space is formed between the transparent board 11 and the orbit. In the device of the present embodiment, soft silicone rubber is used for the skirt portion 12a of the mantle 12 which should be in contact with the skin around the orbit, and care is taken to give a soft touch to the patient's skin. is there.

Next, what is indicated by the reference numeral 2 is a circular processing liquid injection port formed at a substantially central portion of the see-through plate 11, and in this embodiment, an injection nipple N made of silicone resin is inserted. It is. To the nipple N, an ophthalmic treatment liquid is supplied from a polypropylene resin sack S, which is a supply source of the ophthalmic treatment liquid, at a required speed through a silicone rubber liquid supply pipe 4, and from the lower end of the injection nipple N. It is dropped or dropped onto the patient's eyeball (see FIG. 3).
1 and 2 is a flow rate meter for the processing liquid, and E is a flow controller for adjusting the flow rate of the processing liquid by adjusting the degree of compression of the liquid supply pipe 4.

On the other hand, what is indicated by the reference numeral 3 is a silicone rubber drainage pipe for draining the treatment liquid overflowing from the patient's eyelid cleft from the mantle 12, and one end of the drainage pipe is connected to the skirt portion 12 a of the mantle 12. The other end is communicated with the drainage bag 5 made of polyethylene resin, and the processing liquid flowing out of the mantle 12 is entirely contained in the drainage bag 5.

Since the eye-dropping device according to the present embodiment is generally configured as described above, when the eyedropping or eye-washing treatment is performed on the patient by using the eyedropping device, first, the patient wears the goggles by himself / herself. If the eye patch 1 is applied to the eye,
Thereafter, a doctor or a nurse simply inserts the nipple N into the processing liquid inlet 2 of the see-through board 11 and connects the liquid supply pipe 4 connected to the processing liquid supply source S to the nipple N, which takes much time and effort. It is possible to perform eye drops or eye washing treatment without using. In this case, when it is necessary to adjust the supply amount and the speed of the processing liquid, the necessary adjustment can be performed by adjusting the flow rate controller E while watching the flow rate meter D.

Although the embodiments specifically described in the present specification are as described above, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, and the scope of the claims is not limited thereto. Needless to say, various design changes are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pair of binocular eyepieces 1 is illustrated as the eye patch 1, but the monocular type that can cover both the left and right eyes of the patient is illustrated. It is also possible to constitute a point-of-view eye patch, and it is needless to say that a monocular-type point-of-view eye patch is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

Further, as the treatment liquid supply source S for eye drops or eye washing specifically exemplified in the present specification, a treatment liquid sac used in a general medical infusion apparatus can be adopted.
