Over the counter eyedrops called Ezricare has been linked to infections that are resistant to drugs. This eyedrop has caused blindness and even one DEATH. It is sold over the counter, so everyone go check and make sure you are not using this product. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-eyedrops-linked-serious-bacterial-infections-rcna68175

I only use Rieliva (however U spell it) with coupons not bad. I've had cataract surgery, so, only the best for me.

@mormel20 wow that's scary stuff ! I only use Optive tears@ the suggestion of my wonderful ophthalmologist. Always very careful with anything that goes in my eyes.

I hope these drops are taken off the shelves immediately!!!

The CDC is involved in an active investigation to determine the cause of the infections.
