I have two eye medications of Bimatoprost prescribed (in addition to Dorzolamide/Timolol). Left eye is Bimatoprost 300 mg/0.4ml preservative free and right eye is Bitamatoprost 100 mg/ml.

What is the difference and why are they different?

Hello. I cannot see any reason why you would need a pf free option in one eye and a bottled type which would include preservative in the other. It should be either or and not two different options. I would speak to your gp today regarding your prescription.

your consultant will tell you.
