1. A precision lid retracting eyedropper device comprising:

  • a hollow housing;

    said housing having an aperture at its top most surface and a hollow cylindrical portion at its bottom most surface;

    a pair of resilient downwardly facing legs integrally attached to the bottom surface of said hollow housing;

    said legs terminating opposing J-shaped feet;

    a plurality of friction inducing strips attached to the underside of said J-shaped feet;

    said legs spaced sufficiently apart to allow a user to place one said J-shaped foot on the upper portion of the orbital ridge near the eyebrow and the other J-shaped foot on the lower portion of the orbital ridge near the cheek bone;

    such that when the user squeezes said legs together, then rests said J-shaped feet on said upper and lower eye socket, and then releases said legs, the eyelids of the user are forced to remain open because of the outward spring action of said legs;

    an eye drop solution storage chamber located within said hollow housing;

    a pump assembly located within said hollow housing;

    said pump assembly comprised of a resilient tubular member having an inwardly directed check valve frictionally inserted in one end and an outwardly directed check valve frictionally inserted at the opposite end;

    an elongate piston member whose bottom end impinges on the central portion of said resilient tubular pump member and whose upper end exits said top housing aperture terminates at its top end in a push button;

    said solution storage chamber connected to said inlet check valve by a first tubular member;

    said outlet check valve of said pump assembly connected by a second tubular member to a downwardly disposed exit aperture; and

    said second tubular member held in place by said cylindrical housing member;

    so that when said user presses on said push button, said piston impinges on said resilient pump tube and forces a precise amount of eye drop solution out of said outwardly directed check valve and out said exit aperture and into said user'"'"'s eye.
