OTC eye drop safety is a problem.

We discovered 3 unapproved biologic eye drops sold in unsafe bottles.

Two have successfully masqueraded as OTC eye drops, just like Mermaid Tears™.
One isn’t registered at all.

The CDC has linked a generic OTC eye drop sold on Amazon to 4 deaths and 18 cases of vision loss.

The FDA has announced 3 OTC eye drop recalls related to sterility concerns, and warned about the safety of the 3 biologic eye drops.

We have reported to the FDA >200 OTC eye drops due to potential safety issues.

Some are in unsafe bottles. Most are not registered with the FDA - so no one knows where, let alone how, they are manufactured.

Is anyone in charge?

The FDA’s “honor system” regulation of over-the-counter eye drops is ineffective in the e-commerce age.

More and more companies are VIOLATING, MANIPULATING or just plain IGNORING the FDA’s laws and regulations for OTC drugs.
