A small oval or cup-shaped device that fits over the eye and holds medicinal liquid for bathing, washing, or treating the eye.
Compound of 'eye' and 'cup.' Popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries as a standard medical device.
The eyecup was every household's eye emergency kit before pharmacies—grandmothers kept them with their remedies. They're still sold, but now look charmingly vintage.
