Eye Drop Schedule

As it stands right now, this is Emily's daily eye drop schedule:

  • Timolol - Twice a day in both eyes (for Glaucoma)
  • FML - Twice a day in Right eye only - (Steroid to prevent transplant rejection)
  • Iquix - Once a day in Right eye, Four times a day in Left eye (Antibiotic)
  • Durezol - Six times a day in Left eye only (Steroid to prevent transplant rejection)
  • Xalantan - Once a day (at night) in both eyes (for Glaucoma)
  • Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride - Once a day in Right eye only (to dilate pupil)
Her medications and the frequency that she receives them are changed often. It's not only confusing but expensive as well.

Sadly each of these medications only come in a small bottle and have to be refilled every 3 to 4 weeks...to tune of $50 each, that adds up pretty quickly.
