Eyedrop chat (game-changer for getting them in!)
I've just gone back on drops, but I am truly shite at getting them in. Like, wasting 3-4 drops every time, multiple times a day.
This week I've been trying a 'Magic Touch' drop helper, where you put the drop on a thimble-like thing on top of your finger and then just pop it in.
And ohmygod it's actually fantastic. Like, it works every freaking time. So yeah, if you are also shite at drops then I recommend.

#EyeOintments sold nationwide recalled due to infection risk
Story by Kate Gibson
February 26, 2024"Multiple brands of lubricant eye ointments are being recalled due to a risk of infection after federal inspectors found unsterile conditions at the Indian plant where the products were manufactured.
"The recall by Brassica Pharma Pvt. in Thane, a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra, comes after a deadly outbreak last year of #EyeInfections linked to artificial tears made by another Indian firm.
"Sold nationwide by retailers including #CVS Health and #Walmart, the latest recall involves four products by brands #Equate, #CVSHealth and #AACEPharmaceuticals, according to the notice posted Monday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"All have expiration dates starting April 2024 and running through September 2025. The recalled products include:
- Equate Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube, packaged in box with UPC code: 681131395298.
- Equate Style Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube in box with UPC code: 681131395304.
- CVS Health Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube in box with UPC code: 050428634141.
- #LubricantPM Ointment in a 3.5 gram tube, sold in box with UPC code: 371406124356."People should stop using the recalled eye ointments and can return them to the place of purchase. Those with questions can call 1-833-225-9564 or [email protected].
"#EzriCare artificial tears were among the brands recalled last year by #DelsamPharma of #ChennaiIndia, as health officials identified 81 people in 18 states as suffering from infections, with four #deaths and multiple cases of #VisionLoss reported.
"In January, the #FDA warned against copycat #EyeDrops because of the risk of infection."

No one told me that, as I'm #MiddleAged, #EyeDrops would become a daily concern. And lid hygiene? #WTF

Just did #sanaga eye drops, super powerful and very potent.
It's had to start but once you make the decision to put them in you're on a one way ticket to pain, breathing, then relief.
It sure makes you feel powerful after though.

When you hear people say "We have too many regulations" or "we need to slash red tape" or just raging at "big government" remind them of things like this. This rare, because we have such rules, because those protections matter. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bacteria-deaths-eye-drops-pseudomonas-aeruginosa-cdc-b2305834.html #bacteria #EyeDrops #pseudomonas
