Eyedrop recall expands as death toll and vision loss cases rise.

TL;DR Summary
Two more deaths and additional cases of vision loss have been reported in the US due to eyedrops contaminated with a drug-resistant bacteria. The CDC has identified 68 cases of infections from the bacteria, which has caused a total of three deaths and eight cases of people losing their vision. The recalled drops were manufactured by Global Pharma Healthcare in India, where the bacteria is commonly linked to outbreaks in hospitals. The outbreak is considered particularly worrisome because the bacteria driving it is resistant to standard antibiotics.
