Do you have Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension. Are you taking eye drops daily or multiple times daily or multiple drops? Are you looking for one less thing to do daily? One less drop, one less thing to rememeber. Perhaps the drops cause redness, irritation, foreign body sensation or other unwanted side effects. Perhaps you have Parkinson’s disease and your tremors make it difficult or impossible to take drops. Perhaps you have arthritis and even squeezing or opening the bottle is a chore. Perhaps you have bumped and scratched your eye when trying to administer the drops. Perhaps you have to rely on others to instill your drops. Perhaps you miss your eye with your drops more than you hit your eye or cannot even tell when or if the drops land in your eye. Maybe you get dizzy when you lean your head back to instill the drops. Perhaps you are just tired of putting in your drops. Perhaps you cannot afford your medications. Perhaps your prescribed drops are not covered by your insurance. Perhaps you often forget to put your drops in.
