wendy, yes once the saline (must be sterile and only a certain amount) water is ozinated, it is transferred into a small bottle with an eye dropper. apparently, the ozone effect does not last long so it must be ozinated again thru out the day. the machine is not that expensive and I am assuming that the saline solution is not that expensive either... NO ONE SHOULD PUT JUST OZINATED WATER INTO THEIR EYES... THE SALINE SOLUTION MUST BE PART of this process!
