⚠️There have been 27 eye drops that have been flagged by the FDA as potentially harmful to the eye!

Investigators discovered unsanitary conditions in the products’ manufacturing facility. They also found bacteria on samplings within the production areas of the facilities.

On October 25, 2023, the FDA recommended the manufacturer recall all product lots.

Here is a full list - please make sure you are NOT using any of these eye drops.

As always, if you are experiencing any eye issues such as blurry vision, redness, discharge, or eye pain, please see your eye doctor immediately. Certain eye infections can lead to permanent blindness, and your best chance of preventing this is to get in to an eye doctor right away.
