The invention relates to a method for monitoring the dispensing of a drop by a device for dispensing a liquid product in the form of drops, using means for detecting a liquid product which are arranged near an orifice for dispensing drops, and a system (40) for processing information provided by the detection means, a monitoring method during which the processing system (40) receives information corresponding to the following series of steps: - a step of detecting the presence of liquid, during which the detection means detect the presence of liquid near the dispensing orifice, the detection means being configured such that the detection of the presence of liquid is indicative of a drop in the course of being formed, in contact with the dispensing orifice, - a step of detecting an absence of liquid, during which the detection means detect the absence of liquid near the dispensing orifice, and the processing system (40) processes the series of information on detection of the presence and absence of liquid in order to provide a piece of information on the dispensing of a drop. The invention also relates to a device (10) assisting the use of a device for dispensing a liquid product in the form of drops.L'invention concerne un procédé de surveillance de la distribution d'une goutte par un dispositif de distribution d'un produit liquide sous forme de gouttes, à l'aide de moyens de détection de produit liquide disposés au voisinage d'un orifice de distribution de gouttes, et d'un système de traitement (40) des informations fournies par les moyens de détection, procédé de surveillance au cours duquel le système de traitement (40) reçoit des informations correspondant à la succession des étapes suivantes : - une étape de détection de présence de liquide, au cours de laquelle les moyens de détection détectent la présence de liquide au voisinage de l'orifice de distribution, les moyens de détection étant configurés de sorte que la détection de présence de liquide est signific
