"The price of BromSite is prohibitive! I had to use two other drops in addition to this, so my cost was almost $600.00 out of pocket. The discount card did not work for any of my meds! Really hard when on a fixed income!"

"Accuracy of amount in BromSite 5 mL eye drop bottle. Pre- and post-cataract surgery, I was prescribed three different eye drop medications. Post-surgery, my first bottle of BromSite ran out within days. The second bottle of BromSite lasted several more days. After several more bottles ran dry, it was clear the bottles were never filled to the correct amount. It should not take five bottles of BromSite to complete a cataract surgical procedure. I never ran out of my steroid or antibiotic eye drops. Investigation continues."

"I just had cataract surgery. Of course, I needed a refill on my BromSite to finish out my total 3-week treatment. My prescription was refilled. It came sealed and in perfect condition. The problem was there was VERY LITTLE BromSite in the dispenser. It will NEVER last the total of days my doctor said to administer it! I tried to call Sun Pharmaceuticals in Cranbury, NJ, without being able to reach anyone to take my complaint!"

"I am having the same experience with my Medicare Part D plan - BromSite is not covered, is very expensive, and there is not enough of the medication in the bottle to cover the prescribed dosage period. I called my plan and learned there are preferred alternatives that are covered. This is too complicated! When you are in need of medications, the last thing you need is to be overwhelmed by sticker shock."

"They worked pretty good, but there is no generic for this drug, and the doc says you have to have it. So you have to pay 293.?? for a tiny bottle. How can that be?"

"The cost is ridiculous, especially when not covered under Medicare! You run out of drops before you finish the 4-week treatment plan after surgery, and then you are told to just buy more!"

"Well, I’ve used the product for a number of years now and am on Medicare Part D. I’ve run out of the number of times Bausch and Lomb will allow me to use the coupon, so I guess it’s one of those “I’ll have to do without” situations. I can’t afford meds over $200! So, in addition to fighting breast cancer, I’ll need to have eye surgery. Can’t see how that saves insurance companies money."
