You press a broad lever with your palm or fingers instead of pinching a stiff plastic bottle between finger and thumb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern preservative-free bottles are often the stiffest ones. The valve that keeps them sterile without preservatives takes real force to operate, so the patients who most need preservative-free drops are frequently the ones least able to get them out of the bottle. That is a genuinely poor piece of design, and this is the fix for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe honest caveat: Autosqueeze solves force, not aim. If your difficulty is lining the bottle up over the eye, or you blink the moment it comes near, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/autodrop-eye-drop-guide\"\u003eAutodrop guide\u003c\/a\u003e is the one you want. A lot of our patients use both together, and for arthritic hands that combination is often what finally makes daily drops workable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt does not fit every bottle. Tell us what you are using, or bring it in to us in Hamilton, and we will check the fit before you buy.

Stiff multi-dose preservative-free bottles are exactly the sort it is meant for — send us the brand name, or bring the bottle in to us in Hamilton, before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it together with the Autodrop guide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and for many arthritic patients that combination is what finally makes drops workable. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/autodrop-eye-drop-guide\"\u003eAutodrop\u003c\/a\u003e handles aim, Autosqueeze handles force — they solve two different problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it damage the bottle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It clamps around the body of the bottle and releases cleanly. Because it multiplies your grip, it is easy to deliver more than one drop at first — that is wasteful rather than harmful, and it settles once you have the feel of the lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it help me aim?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It solves force only. If the drop is landing on your cheek, or you blink as the bottle approaches, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/autodrop-eye-drop-guide\"\u003eAutodrop guide\u003c\/a\u003e is the product for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm soapy water, rinsed and air dried. Do not boil it or put it in the dishwasher — heat can distort the plastic and loosen the clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does one last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is reusable indefinitely with normal use. Replace it if the clamp cracks or stops holding the bottle firmly, and do not share one between people if either of you has an eye infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Rose Optometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe are an independent, optometrist-owned New Zealand practice — in Hamilton since 1969.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree optometrist advice with every order.
