Measuring small amounts of liquid with droppers (self.Blind)
submitted by appollo2020
Do any other blind individuals have any suggestions for using droppers? How do you tell how much is come out? How do you get just one drop? I’m waiting to get into essential oils, but, a lot of the things I’m reading online say that you just need one drop or two drops of some thing and I don’t wanna overdo it…

Not blind but work on improving accessibility. So I came across this article about making $1 and they mentioned using fixed volume micropipettes with braille labels for measuring out drops of substances. I found these $1 on amazon that come in 50 microliter volumes which based on googling seems to be about 1 drop. There's probably other fixed volume micropipettes but those seemed cheap and usable.

It depends what kind you mean, for eyedrops somebody has to put them in for me. But for example, I use floral essence of the kind you put a few drops on your tongue and squeeze the dropper a tiny bit for one drop at a time you can usually feel the amount

Thanks for the interesting idea. I've been looking for a better way to know how much gun oil I am using.
