Description

  The present invention uses an alignment device installed around the eye drop container so that when the patient uses the eye drop container, the ophthalmic solution is emitted by the alignment color light emitted (or reflected) from the alignment device. The present invention relates to an eye drop container having a positioning eye drop effect that can be accurately instilled into its lower eyelid.

  Humans are said to be primates of all things, and eyes E are said to be windows of souls. Each person obtains external information almost every moment. In particular, with the development of science and technology, the number of people suffering from chronic or acute eye diseases is increasing as the visual stimuli and frequency of use increase day by day. However, the vast majority of patients do not understand the correct use of eye drops and are unable to receive the best care for eye E.

  Conventionally, when most people use eye drops (hereinafter referred to as eye drops), the eye drops are dropped directly on the surface of the eye E, so that the cornea of the eye E receives excessive external stimulation. (See FIG. 1). In particular, children often reject drops because of intense discomfort. In the above-described wrong eye drop method, the eye irritation is excessive, and at the same time, receiving eye drops with a concentration that is too high in the eye easily causes external damage to the eye.

  The correct ophthalmic solution usage procedure recommended by a specialist pharmacist is as follows. In step 1, the eye drop container is shaken to make the concentration of the eye drop inside the container uniform. In the procedure 2, the patient tilts his / her head backward and directs his / her eyes E upward (toward the top of the head) (see FIG. 2). In step 3, immediately after pulling down the lower eyelid with the index finger to expose the conjunctival sac in the lower eyelid E1, the middle finger presses the nasolacrimal duct between the inner side of the nose and the eyes. In step 4, hold the eye drop container with the other hand, place it above the eye E, suspend it, and aim at the lower eyelid E1 site. In step 5, the ophthalmic solution is dropped into the lower eyelid by pressing the eye drop container. In step 6, the eye E is lightly closed and the eye is turned several times, so that the drug solution in the lower eyelid E1 spreads uniformly on the surface of the eye E (not shown).

The procedure for using the ophthalmic solution described above can prevent the cornea of the eye E from being excessively stimulated, but it is very difficult to actually perform it. When investigating the cause, regardless of whether or not the external light beam is sufficient, even if the patient looks up with the face up and performs the eye drop operation, the eye drop is smoothly and accurately put into the lower eyelid. In most cases, the ophthalmic solution flows out to the face (see Fig. 2), so that the medicinal solution becomes very wasteful, and at the same time, the amount of ophthalmic solution to be instilled into the eye can be controlled. difficult. Therefore, the therapeutic effect cannot be secured, and the most appropriate care cannot be received for the eyes.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, facilitate the patient's precise positioning of the injection port, and assist in accurately instilling eye drops into his lower eyelid An object of the present invention is to provide an eye drop container having an eye drop effect.

  The present invention relates to an eye drop container having a positioning eye drop effect composed of a hollow bottle body and a mouth-and-neck part having a liquid injection port at a front end, and the bottle neck body and the hollow bottle body are connected to each other. A shoulder portion is formed, and at least one alignment device is installed around the middle or rear end of the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion at a distance from the liquid injection port.

The alignment device may be an annular locking body.
A single-color or multi-color persistent fluorescent material that emits color light for alignment may be provided on the surface of the alignment device or inside thereof.
Alternatively, a monochromatic or multicolor active light emitter that emits color light for alignment may be provided inside the alignment apparatus.
In this case, a light emitter driving module used for driving the active light emitter may be provided in the alignment device or in the hollow bottle.

  In the present invention, at least one alignment device is installed around the middle stage or the rear end of the mouth and neck, and an appropriate distance is maintained between the alignment device and the injection port of the mouth and neck. The patient can easily determine whether or not the injection port is accurately aimed at his / her lower eyelid location based on whether or not the alignment device is completely visible. Since it can be dropped into the eyelid, there is no risk of wasteful use of ophthalmic solution due to instillation by shifting the position.

It is a front view at the time of performing an eye drop correctly using the conventional eye drop container. It is a side view in the use condition of the eye drop container which has the alignment eye drop effect which shows the Example of this invention. It is a principal part enlarged view of FIG. It is a front view in the use condition of the eye drop container which has the alignment eye drop effect which shows the example of the present invention. It is a front view in the use condition of the eye drop container which has the alignment eye drop effect which shows the other Example of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 3 is a side view showing a usage state of the eye drop container having the alignment eye drop effect of the present invention, FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a use state of the eye drop container having the alignment eye drop effect. FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the eye drop container 1 is composed of a hollow bottle body 10 that can be filled with eye drops and a mouth and neck part 20 having a liquid injection port 21, and the mouth neck part 20 and the hollow bottle The body 10 is integrally connected.
The external shape of the hollow bottle 10 is not limited to a circular shape, a square shape, or a polygonal shape as long as the ophthalmic solution can be accommodated therein.

The shape of the mouth-and-neck portion 20 is optimally a hollow cylindrical body that is thinner than the hollow bottle body 10, and a screw thread 201 or a latch mechanism (not shown) to be fitted with the cap is provided at the intermediate portion of the outer peripheral surface. In addition, a liquid injection port 21 is provided at the front end of the mouth-and-neck portion 20, and the rear end of the mouth-and-neck portion 20 and the hollow bottle body 10 are integrally connected to form a bottle shoulder portion.
The inside of the mouth-and-neck portion 20 communicates with the hollow bottle body 10, and the eye drops in the hollow bottle body 10 passes through the mouth-and-neck portion 20 and slowly drops out from the liquid injection port 21.

At an intermediate portion or a rear end of the outer peripheral surface of the mouth / neck portion 20, at least one alignment device 30 is installed around the screw inlet 201 or the latch mechanism at a distance from the liquid injection port 21. In the present embodiment, the alignment device 30 includes an annular locking body 301 having a diameter larger than that of the thread 201 or the latch mechanism. The annular locking body 301 is an annular member that is locked to surround the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 20 in the circumferential direction.
Then, when the patient places the liquid injection port 21 above the eye E, the liquid injection port 21 has its own lower eyelid depending on whether or not the alignment device 30 (see FIG. 3) is completely visible in the circumferential direction. It can be determined whether or not it is aimed at the E1 location.
The alignment device 30 is not limited to the annular locking body 301 alone.

The main purpose of the alignment device 30 installed in the eye drop container 1 of the present invention is based on whether or not the patient can completely see the annular locking body 301 (that is, the alignment device 30) via the eye E. It is to determine whether or not the liquid injection port 21 is accurately aimed at the lower eyelid E1 location of itself. Therefore, the annular locking body 301 needs to make a significant distinction from the other parts of the eye drop container 1, thereby enabling the patient to easily identify the location of the annular locking body 301. .
In order for the patient not to confuse both the annular locking body 301 and the hollow bottle body 10, the color light for alignment of the annular locking body 301 needs to be different from the color of the hollow bottle body 10 and the mouth and neck portion 20. Furthermore, the annular locking body 301 may be designed to more actively or passively (or reflect) monochromatic or multicolor alignment color light as needed. If the annular locking body 301 passively emits (or reflects) alignment color light, a monochromatic or multi-colored persistent fluorescent material 302 or reflective material may be applied to the surface of the annular locking body 301; Or you may mix in the inside (refer FIG. 5).

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, a single-color or multi-color active light emitter 303 (for example, a light emitting diode LED) is provided inside the annular locking member 301, and a light emitter drive module (not shown) for driving the light emitter is annularly engaged. It is installed in the inside of the stationary body 301 or in the hollow bottle body 10, and the annular locking body 301 actively emits color light for alignment.
The electrical circuit design of the luminous body drive module, the open / close position or what kind of battery (power supply) standard is adopted, and where it is installed in the hollow bottle body 10 are not the main part of the present invention. The description in is omitted.

In order to use the ophthalmic container 1 of the present invention, it is necessary to first shake the ophthalmic container 1 to make the concentration of the ophthalmic solution inside the hollow bottle 10 uniform according to the recommended use procedure of the specialist pharmacist.
Next, tilt your head backwards and point your eyes straight up (toward the top of your head). Then, the lower eyelid is pulled down with the index finger to expose the conjunctival sac of the fundus (see FIG. 3).
Then, hold the hollow bottle body 10 with the other hand, and place it so that the liquid injection port 21 is below the eyes, and the annular locking body 301 provided on the mouth-and-neck portion 20 is completely visible. (See the arrow in FIG. 4) until the position is adjusted. Being able to visually recognize the annular locking body 301 means that the liquid injection port 21 is accurately aimed at the lower eyelid E1 portion of the eye E.
Thereafter, the ophthalmic solution is dropped into the lower eyelid E <b> 1 from the injection port 21 by pressing the hollow bottle body 10. Then, by slightly closing the eyes and turning the eyes several times, if the drug solution in the lower eyelid E1 spreads uniformly over the surface of the eyes (not shown), the spotting operation is completed.

  The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Those skilled in the art who are familiar with the technical field of the present invention can use the technical contents disclosed above to obtain an embodiment having the same effect with a slight change or modification.
