Eye Drop Days Supply

Calculating Eye Drops Days Supply is a challenging, yet important part of a pharmacy technician’s daily job duties.

Oftentimes days supply for eye drops is confusing and lacks across-the-board workplace standards.

Pharmacies are often audited by insurance companies, and one of the areas they are audited in is eye drop days supply.

Eye drops come in multiple sizes, from 2.5ml bottles on up to 15ml bottles or more.

A good rule of thumb for eye drops is that there are 15 drops per 1ml.

Total Drops Per Day	2.5ml	5ml	10ml	15ml	20ml	30ml	40ml	45ml
One	30/34	75	150	225	300	---	---	---
