My eye doctor recommended me systane eye drops. they come in these plastic-like tubes and he says used 1-4 times a day. the box says once open discard. but i never use all of the eye drop liquid in the bottle. can i save it to use another time. how?

You should discard unused portions of a single use vial. Once opened, contamination is possible. You can find Systane in a multi-use bottle or a similar product Refresh , in an even larger multiuse bottle. Multi-use bottles have screw-on caps that can be used to keep the material free from contamination.
