My wonderful cataract surgeon (who in my eyes can do NO wrong) is very insistent that I use lubricating eye drops multiple times a day. He, & the practice he works for, are BIG on eye drops — though they are also adamant that the drops have to be ‘Refresh‘.
Since I first heard about the contaminated drops I have been, understandably, concerned — even sacred. It would be dreadful to go bling. I would rather DIE.
I stopped using eye drops for awhile. But, my doctor was adamant that ‘Refresh’ will always be SAFE. I am not that sure.
I want to see some kind of ‘inexpensive’ HOME TEST ‘kit’ for eye drops. Ideally like litmus strips. You put a drop onto the strip & it will tell you if the drops are safe or not.
Doesn’t that make a LOT of sense.
So, I am pushing for that.
Home Testing for eye drops. Help me make this a reality.
