Tarundeep Singh Kalsi, Kuldeep Singh Rajawat, Rajath R
Abstract: This project focuses on old age people or people who suffer from serious eye problems who are not able to deliver the drug into eye by themselves (in cases of muscle dystrophy), and is case of blepharospasm. The dispensing of drugs into eye are less efficient and lead to loss of drug and also may lead to unwanted infections, and in cases of glaucoma where the patient has to put drug of specific amount daily in the eye. The main idea is to make a system which is simple and deliver the drug easily with maximum accuracy. The project focuses on making a glass and band system. The glasses are designed in such a way that it perform two main functions one is to retract open the eye, and second create vacuum to prevent infection when drug is delivered in the eye. Once the eye is retracted the bottle is fixed on the top most part of the glass for dispensing drug. Upon pressing the bottle drops enters the eye through the hole done on the equidistance from the eye so that the drop enters the eye only. This project is designed for independently delivering the drug into the eye.
