eyedroppers
Tiny liquid squeezers
Eyedroppers are small tubes with squeezable rubber bulbs at one end, used to dispense liquid one drop at a time.
They're standard equipment for administering eye medication or measuring precise amounts of liquid: She used an eyedropper to add food coloring to the frosting.
Also called droppers.
