Ethnography
Interview Clip
A particpant relates his experience administering eye drops (dry-eye lubricants). Such discussions served to inform product development and product viability decisions.
Extensive testing revealed the most common difficulties people
experience with the traditional eyedropper or droptainer:
• Aligning the tip of the eye drop bottle to its target
• Touching the bottle tip to the eye or other surface
• Needing two hands (one to drop the other to pull away the eyelid)
• Excess lubricant musses makeup or gives the appearance of crying
• Waste. Drops are expensive, especially the highly effective formulas
• Losing the bottle cap; guarding the tip from contamination
• Waste. Drops are expensive, especially the highly effective formulas.
