POULSBO, Wash., July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Businessweek magazine has reported the results of a months-long investigation into how generic over-the-counter eye drops contaminated with an "antibiotic-resistant superbug" made it into the US market.

  • "We know anyone can sell "black market" eye drops on Amazon, Walmart.com or Ebay," says Dry Eye Foundation president Rebecca Petris.
  • Dry Eye Foundation has shared its concerns about the proliferation of unsafe OTC eye drops with the FDA, and is meeting with agency representatives in September.
  • Dry Eye Foundation operates two websites about eye drop safety: eyedropsafety.org and mermaidtearsusa.com .
