As reported yesterday on MedGadget, Japanese designers have created a new eye drop device called the eyecon to help properly administer eye drops to the eyeball without missing the target or accidentally touching the cornea.

The designers created a special frame by starting with a pair of goggles which led to development of some working models. After fitting these on family and friends, the researchers determined that an asymmetrical shape would fit the human face better. To account for the various lengths of lashes, the designers also designed a system to adjust distance from the tip of the bottle to the eye.
