Abstract

An eye drop dispenser assembly which covers and comfortably encloses the user's eyes and dispenses medicine in a manner which obviates blinking. The dispenser assembly comprises two portions, each having an eye drop dispensing port; an eye drop reservoir; an eye drop dispensing button; a fluid connection between the eye drop reservoir and the eye drop dispensing port via the eye drop dispensing button; and a cushion positioned to surround a user's eye when the eye drop dispenser assembly is in place on a user, and a hinge assembly for connecting the two portions so that the two portions can move relative to each other to assume a curved configuration that places each portion over the user's eye whereby eye drops are dispensed directly into the user's eye and for folding the two portions in a compact relationship for easy storage.
