The Problem
Standard eye drops are too big for your eye, and bad for your wallet
- The human eye can only hold 7-10 microliters
- Standard drops are 25-50 microliters
- 60-80% of medication is wasted
- Waste increases the cost of medications
- Oversized drops are difficult to use
- Excess medication worsens side effects

Designed with you in mind
Every Nanodropper arrives fully assembled and sterilized in an easy to open pouch, ensuring safe and simple installation. Simply twist onto your bottle and begin use.
The Nanodropper comes with an easy-to-grip pop-off cap, allowing users to use any part of their hand to remove and replace the cap. Many users find the pop-off motion easier than the twisting motion required with the traditional caps.*
*Based on user surveys.
The medication delivery tip is made with soft, medical-grade silicone which is friendlier to the delicate surface of the eye in the case of accidental pokes. The tip is also elongated so users can hold the bottle further from their eye.
The tip is made from bright blue material which provides high contrast against the dark gray base to create a "Bullseye Effect." Users find this color pattern helps with aligning and aiming drops.*
*Based on clinical trial data.
The Nanodropper base is designed with a squared shape to help prevent it from rolling off tables or counters. Users find their bottles stay on surfaces when accidentally knocked over or dropped.
*Based on user surveys.
The Nanodropper is available in 2 sizes and designed with specialized threading to fit the vast majority of standard eyedrop bottles. Always check compatibility before ordering.
Note: Nanodropper does not fit on preservative-free bottles or vials.

Clinical Validation
Peer-Reviewed Research Studies: When used with the Nanodropper Adaptor, individuals using glaucoma medications had:
- Better intraocular pressure (IOP) control
- Reduced side effects
- Experienced less frequent events of runnning out of medications before their next bottle was due.

Independent Testing: All studies were done by third-party collaborators from world-class institutions like the University of Colorado, Sutter Health, US Air Force, and Aravind Eye Hospital to validate the droplet volume reduction and clinical benefits of Nanodropper Adaptors. Additionally, the studies have been peer-reviewed and published in top academic journals, such as Ophthalmology and the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
Designed by Doctors: Nanodropper was created by a team of doctors and experts dedicated to one goal: making eye care more affordable and effective. Our technology is built on decades of peer-reviewed clinical research dating back to the 1980s. In fact, some of these doctors were the original investigators who discovered the benefits of micro-volume droplets. By reducing waste without sacrificing the medicine you need, we’ve turned years of clinical expertise into a simple solution for your daily eye care.
