Hot weather and eye drops

[tiger222]

Many people here on east coast are receiving notices from their electric companies that temperatures might continue to rise and to prefer for possible power outages. I was just wondering what would I do with my eye drops (Xalatan, Dorzolamide/Timolol and Alphagan) that I have been storing in fridge during these hot months?
If power went out what would happen to the eye drops if fridge was no longer working and temp in apartment was almost in 100s?
Does anyone else store their eye drops in fridge and you wonder what would happen if power outage?

Thank you. Your "have eye to sell" - did you mean "one" instead of ";eye".  Also, I live on top floor of apartment building where it does get hot and if power went out it would really get hot and also there is no basement. That is why I was a bit concerned about possible power failure and fridge not working to keep my eye drops cool.

"Ice to sell"

Thank you. Do you mean something like this:

Rubbermaid 10-Quart Personal Ice Chest Cooler, Red New
Superior thermal retention keeps food and beverages cold
Top swing handle for easy carrying
Stain and odor resistant, easy-to-clean liner
Holds 12 cans plus ice

The larger ones cost hundreds of dollars. There would be no ice in it because the fridge would be off because of power outage and no ice would be made. Would this type of cooler keep the eye drops safe in 90-100 degree weather?

You don't need to spend much money a 4-5 dollar styrofoam cooler will work. In a power failure you will always be able to find a store that will have eye to sell. Even without any iced cooling if you put them in the basement in a cool area not exposed to direct sunlight they likely will be okay.

Put them in plastic bag and put in an ice chest but don't freeze them.
