I have a high intraocular pressure (IOP) of 25. My doctor prescribed Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution for IOP control and Systane Ultra Eye Drops for dry eyes. Both are very costly. Can you recommend cheaper substitutes that are equally effective?
You should never switch your eye drops for high intraocular pressure without consulting your eye doctor, as keeping your pressure under control is vital for protecting your vision. For a more affordable option, generic bimatoprost or latanoprost eye drops can be used for IOP, and simpler lubricating drops containing carboxymethylcellulose can be used for dry eyes. Always confirm any substitutes with your doctor before switching.
