The idea is nice as eye-drop bottles are not always that easy to use without the tip touching your eye or eye lids. However, I noticed that for some eye-drop liquids the applicator works fine, for others it is not that great as you have to put more liquid on the tip of the applicator to make it work. Of course, that means you may also add a higher dose of the drops than required. Perhaps this is me not doing it correctly but I think it has to do with the chemical components of each liquid and how much of a dome-shaped drop they create on the tip of the applicator.
