Abstract
A device includes an image capture device directed towards a user's eye and a dispensing mechanism configured to receive an apparatus containing fluid. The image capture device is coupled to a controller that processes images of the user's eye captured by the image capture device to determine when the user's eye has been open for at least a threshold amount of time. An orientation sensor included in the device determines an orientation relative to vertical of the device. When the controller determines that the user's eye has been open for at least a threshold amount of time and that the device has an orientation within a specific range, the dispensing mechanism applies force to the apparatus storing fluid to dispense fluid. One or more sensors in the device detect when fluid has been dispensed.
