Unsafe “Frankenstein” bottles

Preservative-free eye drops, whether prescription or over-the-counter, are packaged either in individual unit doses or in bottles with special preservative-free droppers that protect the contents of the bottle from bacterial contamination through filtration and other systems. Safe preservative-free packaging is required under 21 CFR 200.50.

Regener-Eyes and StimulEyes are packaged in simple screw-top bottles without preservative-free droppers.
