The squeezability of ocular lubricant bottles may be a challenging task for older people with reduced hand grip or pinch strength, or those suffering from arthritis. Professor Etty Britton and Dr Joseph Bouskila, from the University of Montreal, investigated the force needed to expel a drop from a variety of different ocular lubricant containers. Here in Auckland, Dr Kalika Bandamwar is undertaking similiar research.
This is excting if it leads to better and more easily squeezable bottles in the future! If you are interested in participating you can contact Dr Kailika Bandamwar at the University of Auckland at kilika.bandamwar@auckland.ac.nz
