Our Manhattan contaminated eye drops infection lawyer is ready to guide you through the legal process and hold negligent manufacturers accountable.
The Dangers of Contaminated Eye Drops
Eye drops are intended to soothe dry, irritated eyes—but when improperly manufactured or stored, these medical devices can harbor dangerous bacteria. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have identified carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a dangerous pathogen found in multiple contaminated artificial tears products, including:
- EzriCare Artificial Tears
- Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears
- Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution
- Artificial Eye Ointment and Gentle Lubricant Gel Eye products
These products were linked to dozens of cases of adverse events including bloodstream infection, cornea conjunctivitis, severe eye infections, and other complications reported in medical facilities across the country.
Eye Infections Linked to Defective Eye Drops
Contaminated eye drops can cause a range of serious health issues. The most commonly reported adverse events and complications include:
- Eye infections and bacterial contamination
- Blurry vision and difficulty seeing
- Ocular infection leading to corneal damage
- Foreign body sensation or severe eye pain
- Partial or permanent vision loss
- Infections that spread to the bloodstream or brain
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as extreme redness, blurry vision, discharge, or swelling after using artificial tears should seek medical attention immediately. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to preventing long-term harm.
