Using an eye dropper safely

Wash your hands, tilt the head back and pull the lower lid down to form a small pocket, then squeeze a single drop into that pocket rather than directly onto the eyeball. Do not let the tip touch the eye, the eyelid or the lashes - that is how a dropper becomes contaminated and carries infection back into the bottle. Blink gently rather than squeezing the eye shut. Where a dropper is shared between people or used with different solutions, it should be cleaned between uses or replaced, and never used to move one medication into another container.

Common uses

Eye irrigation and drop application in first aid rooms and clinics, measuring small doses in a dispensary, and transferring reagents at a laboratory bench. Keep one alongside your resuscitation and treatment equipment, or restock from the wider medical supplies range at MediBC.

Eye Dropper FAQs

How do you use an eye dropper correctly?

Tilt the head back, pull the lower lid down to make a pocket, and release one drop into the pocket rather than onto the eyeball itself. Keep the tip clear of the eye and lashes, then blink gently.

How many drops fit in an eye dropper?

It depends on the bulb and the liquid, but a standard dropper delivers roughly 20 drops per millilitre of a water-like solution. Thicker liquids give fewer, larger drops.

Can an eye dropper be reused?

It can be rinsed and refilled, but not shared between people or between different solutions without cleaning. If the tip has touched an eye, a surface or another container, clean or replace it before the next use.

Can it be used for medication other than eye drops?

It is frequently used to measure small liquid doses generally. For any medicine with a dose that matters, use the measuring device supplied with it rather than estimating with a generic dropper.

Is it sterile?

Treat it as a clean, non-sterile item unless the packaging states otherwise. For anything requiring sterility, use a single-use sterile dropper or ampoule instead.
