Yes, want to know the answer! Cannot tell the level of the eye drops in the 'little' bottle, and my pharmacy cannot refill my script because it's too early.

The molecule that blocks the activity of carbonic anhydrase is called an inhibitor. Some commonly used inhibitors include acetazolamide and dorzolamide, which are used as medications to decrease intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients by reducing the production of aqueous humor in the eye.

Usher Syndrome,Usher Syndrone, Sustained topical dorzolamide therapy improves visual acuity and reduces central foveal zone thickness in some patients with retinitis pigmentosa or Usher syndrome, according to a study in the September issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology.

In a retrospective case series, Mohamed A. Genead, M.D., and Gerald A. Fishman, M.D., of the University of Illinois at Chicago, evaluated 64 eyes of 32 patients with retinitis pigmentosa or Usher syndrome undergoing treatment with topical dorzolamide hydrochloride, 2 percent, for six to 58 months.

The investigators found that 20 patients (63 percent) had a positive response to treatment in at least one eye and 13 patients (41 percent) had a positive response in both eyes. However, four patients (20 percent) who experienced an initial response to treatment had a rebound of macular cysts.

I'm using 4 drops per day. My pharmacy used to send me 1 10 ml bottle for 30 days, so it's 120 drops per bottle. Recently they started sending me the same 10 ml bottle for 40 days. I asked why, the pharmacist told me that the manufacturer changed specifications from 120 to 160 drops per bottle. So it's definitely NOT 200 drops like others say. The question is how can the same bottle now contain 160 drops instead of 120? Besides it doesn't even last 30 days in my experience. I'm considering switching to different medication to avoid worrying about running out of it every time.
