drops. I've seen patients choose inferior lens-
es because their drops were so expensive.
Combining 2 or more drops in one — if, say,
a patient needs both a steroid and an antibi-
otic — can dramatically reduce that burden.
The drops are sold on a per-patient basis, so
you can't keep them on the shelf, but you
can either have the drops shipped to your
facility and charge the patient, or patients
can use credit cards and have the drops
shipped directly to them. This is a win-win-
win for everyone.

There's some much-needed competition in the
phenylephrine market again, now that Akorn
has its own unique FDA-approved formula-
tion. It's still a
lot more expen-
sive than it was
before the FDA
got involved
(we went from
paying $7 to
$70), but
