eye dropper

Tiny liquid tool

An eye dropper is a small glass or plastic tube with a rubber bulb at one end, used to dispense liquids in drops.

Despite the name, eye droppers serve many purposes beyond applying eye medication—measuring small quantities of liquid, transferring ink, or adding essential oils: Use an eye dropper to add food coloring.

Also spelled eyedropper.
