Recalled Eye Drops Linked to Multiple Deaths and Eye Removals

Some eye drops have been recalled due to a bacterial infection that has been linked to death and eyeball removals. The CDC and FDA are investigating a 16-state outbreak of drug-resistant bacteria linked to eye drops. It's recommended to stop using EzriCare or Delsam Pharma's Artificial Tears products by Global Pharma Healthcare. There have been 68 infected patients, one death reported, and there have been eight reports of vision loss, and four eyeball removals. Optometrists recommend using a single bottle non-preserved drop and consulting with them before making a purchase of drops.
