anxious that I’ll mess those up...
Eye drops are the least of my worries. I was given a spread sheet similar to this which makes keeping track easy: I'm just anxious about having my eye operated on. I've had prostate surgery and hand surgery, but never felt this anxious.
Maybe I'm just getting old :)

I have something similar laid out by days etc.. Problem is the girls in the office knew their printer needed a new cartridge when printing stuff out and rather than do it right, handed out the barely readable one. There was nothing at all clear about it when the doctor and the girls went over it. It only became clear when I spent time on it.

I chose the generic drops of which there are three. I see one non-generic on your chart and the other two are ones that I have in addition to having a different one. I wonder if they all differ according to doctors? I haven’t picked up the drops yet so I’m wondering how they manage to get that information to the user - certainly won’t fit on a bottle.

The price quoted for non-generic wasn’t as bad as I’d been told - $100 per RX. Friends had said $200, $300, $500...per each.. Do you remember how many refills you needed? I didn’t want any part of paying $100 each time each one needs refilling..

You have one on your spreadsheet the same that I have but differs in the amount of days. The Pred Forte on my chart starts at 4 for 7 days, 3 for the next 7, 2 for the next 7 and 1 for the last 7 totaling 28 days - all post...

Maybe because as a result of juggling many appointments, trips, transportation etc., for my husband’s health problems, I find this drop business overwhelming. PLUS - AGE, of course!
