Consistency may help you remember:
- Always take your eye drops at the same time every day (or as your doctor recommends).
- Associate taking your eye drops with other daily routines you've already established for yourself, such as brushing your teeth before bed.
- Keep your eye drops in the same place in your home so you always know where they are.
- Ask a friend or family member to help you remember. Each day, they can ask, "Did you remember your eye drops today?"
Send yourself a signal:
- Set a daily clock or watch alarm that can remind you to take your eye drops.
- Sign up for the LUMIGAN
 e-mail reminder service, which can prompt you to take your eye drops.
- Put a reminder note to yourself in a prominent location, such as on your refrigerator or on the steering wheel of your car.
- Keep a calendar nearby and draw an "X" through each day after you take your eye drops. This will serve as an easy visual cue to yourself as to whether or not you've taken your medicine that day.
- Place a towel, scarf, or other object in a place where it can remind you to take your medication. (For example: place a cloth over your alarm clock so you remember to take LUMIGAN ophthalmic solution before you set the alarm for the next day.)
Make sure you don't run out:
- Know how long your eye drops last so you can get a refill before running out. LUMIGAN comes in 3 different amounts. If you are using LUMIGAN ophthalmic solution in both eyes:
- a 2.5 mL bottle lasts a little more than a month (approximately 40 days)
- a 5.0 mL bottle lasts approximately 80 days
- a 7.5 mL bottle lasts approximately 120 days
(If you are using LUMIGAN ophthalmic solution in only one eye, it should last twice as long.)
- Use the customized LUMIGAN
 refill reminder service to help you keep track.
