Who allows to sell that Indian drops in the US?

I have a natural way of dealing with dry eye. by simulating yawning by keeping my mouth open then try to yawn without closing my mouth. The yawn makes my eyes water. I do this as many times as needed to moisten my eyes, nothing is better than my own tears. No drops needed.

Very scarey since I have dry eyes. But what's super funny is the commercial that played before the news article was for eye drops 😆😆😆😆😆😆

I knew it and I never really trusted eye drops although I suffer from dry eye which I had not idea what it was. All I know is that during my entire life when I wake up too early my eyes would always burn and hurt and that was my sign to just go back to sleep and wake up later. Which always made my eyes feel better.

I have dry eyes due to hypothyroidism and this news scared me badly. Fortunately, I don't use either eye drops but I definitely shared it with friends and family just in case. I hope nothing like this happens to the Refresh Liquigel drops I use. They have worked wonders for me.

I've never even heard of this brand. Personally, I use Clear Eyes. How in the actual fcvk could an eye drops company let this happen?🤦🏻‍♂️

I use blink, refresh, and similasan. Blink helps the best and was recommended by my eye doctor. Seems to be ok so far.

Im surprise there is a recall. I didn't hear of one nationally.

I’ll just keep rinsing my eyes with tap water. Everything doesn’t have to be alarming 😅.

I have seen that 26 different brands of eye drops have been declared, UNSAFE. This was NO ACCIDENT!!!
