I think the standard bottles are 10 oz. I recall being given tiny sample bottles from my eye doctor, but I have no idea whether you can buy these small bottles in the store.
You can buy the 4 ounce bottles in most stores. Problem is they cost about $5 each. I typically buy a three pack of 16 oz bottles at Costco (kirkland brand, which my eye doc tells me is B&L) for $8. I normally just refill the small bottle from my big ones, but forgot before my last trip. Turns out I ran out the morning before the new security measures and went and bought a new bottle, which I promptly abandoned 24 hours later in HSV on the 2nd day after the UK arrests. I was flying to ORD for the weekend and did not want to check a bag. I purchased ANOTHER bottle in Chicago, along with the other necessities, which are stored at the friends house where I spent the weekend.
