I don't know if this can help you or not, but Mark Cuban's Cost plus Drug Company has 3 different glaucoma drop generics available that may be cheaper than how you're getting it today?

It could help, thanks for that. It looks like the drops I use aren't on there. Problem is, its kind of a confidence game. My eye doc says to me, use brand X drops, they are the best. But they also aren't covered by insurance, and are distributed by an online pharmacy my doc _may_ have a financial stake in (I can't confirm this but I have a suspicion.) So do I ignore her advice and take different drops, which might be cheaper, but potentially have more issues with eyes down the road? I don't know.

For now I've decided to take the expensive brand-name drops, and we're monitoring to see if my condition progresses or not. After a couple years of this I might switch.


I see; that sucks. I hope you get some answers and some financial/medical relief in the future.
