Nanodropper has developed an FDA-listed adaptor that reduces the volume of eyedrops by over 60%, addressing the issue of medication waste caused by oversized drops. This technology enables patients to use fewer drops per dose, extending the life of their medication bottles and lowering overall costs.

Problem
Standard eyedrop bottles dispense oversized drops, leading to medication waste as the eye can only absorb a limited amount of fluid at a time. This waste results in patients running out of medication prematurely, increasing costs and potentially causing side effects from systemic absorption.
Solution
Nanodropper offers an FDA-listed adapter that reduces eyedrop volume by over 60%, addressing medication waste and improving access to expensive prescription eye medications. By twisting the Nanodropper onto compatible bottles, patients can administer smaller, more effective drops, minimizing overflow and drainage. Smaller drops stay in the eye, reducing waste, cost, and potential side effects, while extending the life of each medication bottle. The Nanodropper aims to empower patients to take control of their eye health by eliminating financial barriers to care.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals using prescription eyedrops, particularly those with chronic conditions like glaucoma, as well as veterinary practices administering ophthalmic medications to animals.
