1. A micro drop adapter assembly for a container having an original dispensing tip, the micro drop adapter assembly comprising:
an internal secondary tip comprising:
an opening configured to surround a terminal length of the original dispensing tip of the container for connecting the secondary tip to the original dispensing tip;
a circumferential groove on a base thereof; and
an inner tube that extends downwardly without penetrating an opening of the original dispensing tip,
wherein the secondary tip is monolithically formed from a flexible material

wherein the inner tube is a frustoconical tube that fits around a circumference of the original dispensing tip and forms a seal against an exterior surface of the original dispensing tip without obstructing the opening of the original dispensing tip;
an adapter configured to threadably connect to the container for securing the secondary tip between the adapter and the container,
wherein the adapter comprises a circumferential ring that corresponds to and couples to the circumferential groove on the base of the secondary tip, thereby connecting the adapter to the secondary tip and forming a cavity defined by an outer wall of the inner tube and an inner wall of the adapter,
wherein the assembly is removably securable to the container without removal of the original dispensing tip,
wherein the container is a squeeze type container,
wherein the secondary tip is configured to reduce a volume of a droplet of fluid ejected from the original dispensing tip of the container wherein the original dispensing tip of the container is not removed or altered when the assembly is installed on the container, and
