Large size containers for eye drops

ONLY a few years ago, eye drops for treatment of eye diseases were imported from abroad. Happily most of those eye drops are now manufactured at home. It is good news for the eye patients in the country, but the issue that did not make them quite happy is that prices of most of eye drops are exorbitantly high and containers are very small. In most cases, a container contains 5.0ml of eye drops medicine, which is good for only 15 to 16 days. When the drop is used three times daily in both eyes as per doctors' prescriptions, it is exhausted easily. 
But there are drops that need to be continued for months together. The containers can easily be made with 20ml capacity. Under the circumstances, I would like to urge upon the manufacturers in the country to also make 20ml containers at an affordable price for common patients.
