“This is infuriating for a few reasons,” Teresa Murray, consumer watchdog at U.S. PIRG Education Fund
Yeeeeaaaaaa 😮💨
The eye drops may contain bacteria that could cause eye infections, potentially blinding them, the agency said.
Yeah that would definitely make me stop putting those things in my eyes.
The eye drops seem to be store brand drops from CVS, Rite Aid, and Target.
Makes me afraid to use ANY eye drops now. And I have a dry eye problem and red eyes almost constantly. Is it still safe to use Visine?
I worked as an opthalmic tech for a few years, and anecdotally, my patients had the most success with Systane Gel. I rarely, if ever, use eye drops, but I have a bottle of that and it’s very good. Avoid anything that advertises red-eye relief. They can cause acute problems including ACA Glaucoma (Anatomically Narrow Angles can exist in patients who have never seen an optho), at least this is what the drug rep told us (about his own products).
I love the Japanese minty drops. I forgot the name of them, though.
Minty eye drops remind me of a brand I used to use frequently, Rohto! Man, it’s been ages since I’ve even seen them in stores.
That’s the one! I have three bottles of it and never use eye drops. BUT WHEN I DO, I love how minty they are!
