can anyone recommend a travel pouch for my eye drops please?

I’m currently on Ganfort.

Many thanks

Hello Nala2509,

I use a Frio travel pouch.

I think they are sold by Amazon or some pharmacies. Glaucoma UK used to sell them too.

The Frio comes in two sizes , for one eye dropper bottle or three. It works by evaporation so you do not need a fridge. They are designed to keep the medication at a safe temperature for at least 45 hours.

I have had my Frio wallet for many years and it still works very well. It is useful if I just want to carry some eye drops with me locally even without using any water for cooling, as it is bright purple and I can always find it in my bag.

I believe some pharmacies sell pouches for diabetic patient's insulin but worth checking to see if suitable for eye meds.

Hi

I use a Frio pouch when travelling. Very easy to use, activated by immersing in water, ( instructions come with the pouch). Will keep eye drops cool for 45 hours and the pouch can be reactivated, if you don’t have access to a fridge. I’ve had no problems at airport security, I just place the pouch containing the eye drops into the tray for scanning. I bought mine from the Frio website, friouk.com

I used Ganfort you don't need to keep it in the fridge, so if I go away I just use an ordinary small travel bag seen to work ok unless your travelling abroad then you may need a proper pouch, Amazon perhaps, Boots, Gluacoma UK do them I think
