Preferred Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is recalling 720 bottles of Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops (glycerin, hypromellose, and polyethylene glycol 400) because there is a lack of assurance that the product is sterile. Using a non-sterile eye drop can lead to serious eye infections or other complications. These 0.5 oz bottles were manufactured by Geri-Care and distributed nationwide through pharmacies. No injuries have been reported to date.
If an eye drop is not sterile, it may contain harmful bacteria or fungi that can cause serious infections when applied directly to the eye, potentially leading to vision loss.
