Intravenous Drip for Lasik Recovery

I've dispensed major $$$ and thousands of eyedrops via individual-use dispensers into my eyes since my Lasik surgery. The inconvenience of carrying little plastic dispensers becomes a thing of the past with EYE-V. EYE-V is a discrete device which dispenses eyedrops as needed via a translucent tube coming from a reservoir hidden behind your ear, providing the proper amount of gravity flow.

An alternative, more asthetically pleasing application:
I had my tear ducts artificially "plugged" to allow natural tears to linger longer... So rather than "plug" them, the EYE-V PLUS is surgically plumbed up to this duct providing an even more asthetically pleasing eyeball lubricant system. A simple procedure on an outpatient basis of course.

The drip rate could be manually adjusted at the reservoir, or automatically with the EYE-V Moisture Sensor.

You need to stimulate your body's natural production of tears.
Think about Dick Cheney.

blissy: How are the drops in timbuktu11's idea any less sterile than conventionally delivered eye drops?

This reminds me of "Clockwork Orange".

You could mount the dispenser in a spectacle-type frame. Then anyone who underwent laser-eye therapy to avoid the need to wear... ah, you're ahead of me.
