These Low-Cost Eye Drops Could Cost You Your Eyesight!
Usually store brand products are the same quality as name brand, but apparently not when it comes to store brand eye drops! I was shocked this morning to see a warning from the FDA being reported by various news sources that there are eye drops on the market in several very reputable stores that need to be stopped immediately! I was also shocked to discover that my chat with the Bing Chat AI bot and several news sources left two store brands off the list! and added a few more CVS and Walmart brand eye drops to their list! It just goes to show you that you need to go directly to the source if you want accuracy in reporting!

Why This Bad Eye Drops List Needs to be Shared Everywhere A.S.A.P.
If you care, please share this list of damaging eye drops everywhere! Most of the companies carrying these eye drops have stopped distributing them, but your friends might have some sitting on their nightstands. In addition to this, there is little a company can do once the product leaves their hands so people might find them for sale in smaller stores or online.
I never imagined in a million years that I would be using eye drops, but suddenly overnight I started having terrible problems with my eyesight. I soon found out that the number of people experiencing problems with dry eyes is steadily on the rise due to many reasons including allergy season. Did you know that 30% of people in the USA use eye drops daily? Goodness gracious! That is definitely a lot of people!
