Abstract:
1. A method of safely delivering an ophthalmic fluid to a living eye of a human being, the method comprising: targeting a living eye of a human being with an ophthalmic fluid misting device; activating an ultrasonic generator for a time interval ranging from 0.5 to 5 seconds, wherein during the time interval ophthalmic fluid is discharged by the ultrasonic generator at fluid discharge rate between about 2 and about 20 microliters per second, wherein the ultrasonic generator delivers the ophthalmic fluid from the ophthalmic fluid misting device across a space between the ophthalmic fluid misting device and the eye; and maintaining a momentum of the ophthalmic fluid that is insufficient to trigger at least one of the ocular blink reflex and the lacrimation reflex of the eye, wherein the maintaining comprises maintaining the ophthalmic fluid at a fluid discharge rate between about 2 and about 20 microliters per second during the time interval, wherein the maintaining comprises maintaining the ophthalmic fluid at a velocity of between about 4 and about 30 cm per second.
