Re: Help with buying eye drops
Steve, I presume you're talking about the post-op drops you've been prescribed? You could ask about a prescription 'season ticket' - I can't remember what that costs, but I'm sure someone here will know and tell you. It can be worth it if you're on a lot of medication, but of course your drops will be reducing over the next few months so the cost will start going down anyway.

Re: Help with buying eye drops
yea your right- i have two sets of drops for my left eye (2 yr post graft) and 2 sets for my newly grafted right eye.
one of the drops though is natural tear drops which is optional but i cant do without them as the eye gets so dry. i'l look into that then thanks for the tip

Re: Help with buying eye drops
ANnual season ticket (Prescription Prepayment Certificate) is 104 pounds. Covers all prescriptions for 12 months, even when they put the rates up next April.
Phone number is 0845 601 8076
You can phone and buy one on the phone with a credit card , and then use it right away - they give you the serial number and expiry date, and you just need to write those on the back of the prescription form.
