First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special bottle adapter that makes smaller drops (microdrops) can numb the eye as effectively as standard-sized numbing drops. 56 adults each received a standard drop in one eye and a microdrop in the other, then had their eye numbness checked over 10 minutes. The goal is to see if using less medication can save money and reduce waste without losing effectiveness.
