Anyone noticed over the counter eye drops/meds/contact lens stuff is WAY EXPENSIVE now?

I was in sticker shock this AM looking for simple eye wash at Walmart. I am sure the Allergan, Bausch, etc and other name brands that are made in Puerto Rico are suffering shortages due to the damage their and that shows in the shelf prices.
