Dry-eye sufferers and glaucoma patients may soon be able to trade
their messy eye drops for a contact lens that delivers medication

I use a "generic" eye drop to treat my glaucoma and it cost about $140 also
for a 10cc bottle. I too am very careful in using it.

If you are using Lumigan, get them from Canada. I get 3 bottles of 10
mL Lumigan for $99 + $10 shipping.
