eyedrops
Liquid ocular relief
Eyedrops are liquid medication or solution applied directly to the eye, typically from a small squeeze bottle with a narrow tip.
They treat conditions like dryness, allergies, infections, or glaucoma, or simply rinse debris from the eye: The doctor prescribed eyedrops for my pink eye.
