Abstract
An aspirating device for an eye includes a tubular member having a predetermined length that enables the tubular member to fit into an open eye and to rest on the surface of the eyeball adjacent one of the eyelids. The tubular member has one or a plurality of spaced openings therein along its length that allow liquid on the surface of the eyeball to be drawn into the tubular member upon the application of suction to the tubular member.
