Optase Dry Eye Intense Drops Recalled Due to Lack of Assurance of Sterility

Agency Publication Date: April 28, 2026

Summary

Scope Health is recalling various lots of Optase Dry Eye Intense Drops (glycerin 0.2%) packaged in 0.33 fl oz bottles. The recall was initiated because the products lack assurance of sterility, meaning the drops might not be free from microorganisms that could cause infection. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. These eye drops were sold nationwide through retail pharmacies and optical centers.

Risk

Using non-sterile eye drops can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into the eye, potentially leading to serious eye infections or vision loss. Those with compromised immune systems or recent eye surgery are at even higher risk of complications.
