Eye drop dispensing apparatus

An ophthalmic drug or solution discharging apparatus, comprising:

• a base portion comprising a cylindrical base for receiving and removably engaging a dropper of an ophthalmic solution container;
• a head portion comprising a tip portion through which ophthalmic solution is discharged, and a shield portion that cylindrically surrounds the tip portion, the shield portion comprising a wall containing an opening for viewing a portion of the tip portion during discharge;
• a neck portion connecting the base portion and the head portion, the neck portion possessing a wider diameter at the base portion and a narrower diameter at the head portion;
• and
• an internal cavity portion defined by the base, head and neck portions, wherein the internal cavity portion comprises a (1) container engagement portion for receiving and removably engaging the dropper of an ophthalmic solution container, and (2) a funnel portion for receiving, transporting and discharging ophthalmic solution at a lesser volume than would otherwise be discharged by the dropper of the ophthalmic solution container, wherein a diameter of the funnel portion consistently narrows in the direction of ophthalmic solution discharge flow, and wherein a portion of the funnel portion for dispensing the ophthalmic solution is longer than a portion of the funnel portion for receiving the ophthalmic solution.
