EYE DROP SAFETY IS IMPORTANT.
The New Year is a good time to take a few minutes to SEPARATE your artificial tear bottles and all your eye drops from ALL other similar containers. Let me say that again…. Now is a good time to take a few minutes to SEPARATE your artificial tear bottles and all your eye drops from other similar containers! We see it every day in our office when a patient has pick up what they thought was their artificial tears and placed a drop of ear wax remover, etc into their eye. Luckily some of these solutions can be easily rinsed out but some like glue cannot.
OK…On your mark, get set, GO!!! Separate your bottles of tears from all similar products now! Don’t think it can’t happen to you.
