Abstract
An eye drop dispenser consisting of a flexible container having an open neck defining a nozzle through which liquid is dispensed, includes an eye drop cup removably secured to the neck of the dispenser and having a free edge for engaging the eyelids of a person using the dispenser, in order to hold the eyelids against movement during application of eye drops to the eye. The cup is secured to the neck of the dispenser through an opening formed in one end thereof, which opening receives and engages the neck of the container with a portion of the neck extending through the opening and into the cup. A cover is provided for the cup and container, which cover has a top portion and an integral elongated stem. The top portion of the cover overlies the free edge of the cup to close the open end of the cup and the elongated stem portion of the cover extends into the cup and includes means for operatively engaging and closing the neck or nozzle of the container so that the cover will simultaneously close both the dispenser nozzle and the opened end of the cup.
