Why smaller eye drops are a big deal

from GeekWire Health Tech · host GeekWire

Nanodropper, a startup created by a group of University of Washington students, has developed an adapter that makes eye drops smaller. It’s a way for people with glaucoma and other eye diseases to waste less of their medication and save money. The idea was inspired by an article published by NPR and ProPublica, which pointed out how pharmaceutical companies make eye drops that are larger than what the human eye can physically absorb. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
