Marshall Allen explains that standard eye drops waste 65 to 85 percent of medication because they exceed what your eye can hold. The Nanodropper, a screw-on adapter that creates microdrops, lets you use only what you need and cuts your costs.
About 9 microliters.
Between 25 and 50 microliters.

Oh, man. Have you ever noticed when you put in eye drops that a good portion of the drop always seems to run down your face? Did you know that's not an accident? The human eye can only hold about 9 microliters of fluid, and yet the typical eye drop is made between 25 and 50 microliters in size. That means we are wasting most of the medication that we put into our eyes. And some of these eye drops, they are extremely expensive. That's just one example of the way our healthcare system squanders our money and makes us keep paying more than we should for the healthcare that we need. Thankfully, in this case, I wrote a story about this problem, and some smart medical students and device engineers created the nanodropper that creates a microdrop. It screws onto your lid of your eye drops and it creates a micro drop to go into your eye, therefore preserving your medication. That's the type of innovation we need, but it's also the knowledge we need to know that our healthcare system is wasting our money and we can stand up and do something about it.
