Is it weird that I suddenly feel like I need eyedrops?
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.
Odd that 25 would be the limit. Luckily I only use 21 eye drop products, so I’m fine.
Lucky! My grocery store only sells 5 different eye drop products.
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).
Good to know, I appreciate the information and recommendations!

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!
That’s a dead space 2 angle right there
My elderly relative who uses eye drops also has regular eye infections. I’ve told her primary caregivers to watch out and maybe stop putting drops in eyes if they can avoid it.
