TLDR
In this article, a method of safely delivering an ophthalmic fluid to an eye was proposed, the method including targeting the eye with an ocular fluid misting device and activating an ultrasonic generator.Abstract:
A method of safely delivering an ophthalmic fluid to an eye, the method including targeting the eye with an ophthalmic fluid misting device and activating an ultrasonic generator to deliver the ophthalmic fluid from the ophthalmic fluid misting device across a space between the misting device and the eye. The method further including maintaining a momentum of the ophthalmic fluid that is insufficient to trigger at least one of the ocular blink reflex and the lacrimation reflex of the eye.read more
