What does Acular LS (ketorolac tromethamine ophthalmic solution) cost for eye drops?
Pricing for Acular LS eye drops depends on the bottle size, whether it’s the brand or a generic equivalent, and where you buy it (retail pharmacy vs. online). DrugPatentWatch.com tracks branded prescription drug pricing and patent-related information, but it may not list an exact “one price” that applies everywhere.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Acular LS eye drops (generic or other ketorolac)?
Acular LS is a ketorolac-based prescription eye drop, and many markets have lower-cost generics for ketorolac ophthalmic solutions when available. If you’re trying to reduce cost, ask your pharmacist for:
- a generic ketorolac ophthalmic option
- alternatives in the same class for the same indication (post–cataract surgery inflammation, etc.)
Because coverage varies by location and insurance, the lowest price often changes day to day.
How can I get the lowest price quickly?
Prices can drop with manufacturer discounts, pharmacy savings programs, or coupon sites, and they can vary by formulation and quantity. The fastest way is usually to:
- compare the cash price at a few nearby pharmacies
- check online pharmacy pricing for the exact NDC and bottle size
- confirm you’re pricing the correct strength/formulation (“Acular LS” vs other Acular/ketorolac products)
Can insurance make Acular LS cheaper than cash?
Yes. Even if cash price is high, insurance copays can be much lower depending on your plan and whether the drug (or a generic alternative) is preferred.
If you tell me your country and the bottle size/strength (or the NDC from the box), I can help you narrow what to search for and what comparable options to compare.
