Nanodropper

posted by: Janet Swartz, EdD

During an NGS webinar, a doctor asked about the Nanodropper, a device that fits onto eye drop bottles to reduce the amount of liquid dispensed. More information about the product can be found on the Nanodropper website here: Nanodropper. To listen to the brief reply given by Dr. Selina McGee during the webinar, click on the audio file below.

I found this on Nanodropper's website regarding efficacy of smaller drops We have a number of studies on the efficacy of smaller drops listed in our whitepaper. The efficacy of smaller drops as well as the eye absorption capacity (7-10μL) has been extremely well studied. Many of the major pharmaceutical companies are also on record stating that drop size is not a medical dosing issue. Please see more about our regulatory and quality information here. We have a number of clinical trials being planned, and we will have the first clinical data published later this year. Contact us if you are interested in running a trial with the Nanodropper. Here is the link to their White Paper chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://nanodropper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/220526_Nanodropper_whitepaper_safety_and_efficacy_of_microdrops.pdf

I would be curious if anyone else is using this tech. We ordered a few samples to use in our clinic, with our dilating drops, but I have yet to recommend it to patients using glaucoma meds (or Vuity for that matter)

I would use it for fluress(and other brands for Goldmann tonkmetry),considering their crazy high prices but I am not sure if the nanodropper tip would fit the glass bottles.

/Dr. H, not sure how you would get the drop out of bottle if you put a nano dropper on it, i would think that you would need to squeeze the bottle in order to get it out. Can't squeeze glass.
