Many Americans make use of eyedrops on a daily basis. If you do, you’ll want to be aware of a warning put out the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA has issued a warning to consumers to stop using two new eye drop products. The two products identified are “Dr. Berne’s MSM Drops 5% Solution” and “LightEyez MSM Eye Drops – Eye Repair.”
The FDA says these eye drops have potential bacterial or fungal contamination, which can lead to vision and life-threatening infections.
These are but the latest warnings about eye drops from the FDA. Earlier this year, a number of eye drop brands were linked to a drug-resistant bacteria outbreak that resulted in four deaths and many infections in a total of 18 states.
