This invention is a bubble drop, intended to be used as an eye drop, and method of making same. The bubble drop comprises a cluster of contiguous bubbles, wherein numerous constituent bubbles (2) are volumetrically similar. The cluster is formed of one thin continuous liquid wall (6), and each of the constituent bubbles enclosing therein, a gas (10). A method of making the bubble drop comprises, a device (1) having means to concurrently inject both air (10), and a selected liquid (11) into a substantially enclosed space having an outlet (4). This concurrent injection occurs at a respective predetermined volumetric input rate, and input velocity, conducive to the formation of bubbles. A stream of continuous bubbles is produced inducing an accumulation attached to the outlet. Upon obtaining a particular total mass, the accumulation will fall from the device having the form of the cluster of bubbles. This bubble drop falls upon the eye whereas the bubbles burst upon contact with the eye, and a substantial quantity of the liquid remains on the eye.
