Zeev, I looked in all the toy stores but could not find that ZeeB FizzB.

Maby next year. But I have another sure fire idea for you to use your
inventing know how on.

Like that hoola hoop of the 50's, a simple plastic thing that already
exist, and with a little twist to fill a need.

In my advancing age the fluid in my eyes is loosing some of the stuff
that does the lubricating. Not enough oil in the tear drops.

So I buy those natural tears eye drops at drug store,
the ones without the get-the-red-out ingredance,
so can use as often as wishes,
but only problem is that everytime I point the tip of the eye drop bottle
at my eyes I get the message that a sharp object is going to hurt my eye,
and I turn away. Hard for me to counter with thoughts those instincts
that have taken millions of years for humans to develope.

So here is a possible simple solution:

Need to see that there is a barrier between my eye and the bottle tip,
or to accomplish the same, a way to prevent the bottle tip from coming
into contact with my eye ball even if I pushed bottle towards my eye.

Take a 9 oz plastic cup, at bottom end make a hole in the center to
allow eye dropper tip to enter until the main container of bigger size
stops the travel of eye dropper.

Place the end of the 9 oz plastic cup normally used to drink from, on top
of face above eye. Look straight upwards until center of plastic cup's
bottom is centered over eye and then squeeze eye dropper.

Works for me.
