Varies: The amounts of drop per "ml" varies depending on the viscosity of the liquid, an IV drip for example may deliver 10, 15, or 20 drip per ml, but most pharmacyst would use 20 drops for each ml.

Do you really need to discard eye drops after 30 days? I mean, you don't use all of 10 ml eye drops in 30 days. I never throw eye drops away.
