This invention is a cartridge (10) for actuating a piston-like or accordionlike dispenser vial for applying medicament to an eye. The cartridge (10) includes a housing for holding the dispenser vial and a telescoping cylinder (18) for compressing the dispenser vial in the longitudinal direction to actuate the vial. The cartridge includes a locking mechanism (43) for locking the telescoping cylinder (18) to restrict its movement and a lever mechanism for releasing the cylinder from the locked position so that a drop is released from the dispenser. The housing includes a finger (57) for engaging the lower eyelid and exposing the conjunctival cul-de-sac.
