I did have some eye discomfort, dryness, etc. I chalked this up to allergies. I wasn't immediately diagnosed, but she said it was suspect. About a year later the visual field test showed that it had worsened, so the diagnosis became official.
As far as the drops go, its a a brand-name drug. My doc suggested that there was a generic option available but it was also clear that it wasn't her preference.

Maybe they refuse to give you refills. There were other suspicious aspects and dark patterns in the UI of the signup process; it smelled like a moneymaking scheme.
