Best is to contact the airport or airline.

The reports are that only PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES ONLY so you will probably have to get your GP to write you a prescription. If your GP does this for one bottle, it will cost more, but if the GP writes a prescription allowing you to have 2 or more, you are then saving money.

I flew back on Sunday they said no eye drops at all.

Flying again Friday, things have been relaxed a bit.
