This is a recall of only one batch of only one version of Systane!!! All other versions and batches are fine. If it is not Systane Ultra PF (Preservative Free) in 25 pack, batch 10101 Exp.

Health care, and that includes both health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry, are not getting the message that existing for the sole purpose of maximum corporate profits is not at all serving the public or the societal need. They are hurting people and chasing doctors from the professions, all to make more money for their corporate entity. Being totally non-responsive or intentionally obfuscating in order to be able to deny claims, delay payments and raise costs is not what the public wants. In no way, do I condone the actions of Luigi Mangione and the reprehensible murder of Brian Thompson but the industries are not getting the message or responding in a way which will appease the masses who are at the start of a clear rebellion. Even when the head of United Healthcare addressed the issue, he managed to sneak in the concern for corporate profits. The points below are valid and I don't always agree with Kevin. It is past time for the Federal government to act in the public's best interest, regardless of who supports their individual next election campaign.

“Shark Tank” star and investor Kevin O’Leary says the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson should be a wake-up call to the industry that they need to change how they conduct business.

How to avoid being dazzled by headlights while driving at night!!!

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-14087881/How-avoid-dazzled-road-10-tips-help-tackle-blinded-oncoming-drivers.html

Please note- this is an article from the UK. When they talk about the government they are talking about their government, not ours. Also, remember they drive on the left side of the road so when they discuss where to look when driving, they are looking to the side the cars are not on, not into the lights as would be if you are thinking that they are driving on the right side of the road.

Being dazzled by oncoming headlights is becoming an increasing issue for motorists. But how can you go about limiting the impact of the blinding glare?

IMPORTANT !!!!!!
DO NOT BUY AND USE THESE UNTESTED COLOR-CHANGING EYE DROPS!!!

The AAO is sounding the alarm on over-the-counter eyedrops advertised as eye color-changing solutions. These products are not FDA approved, have not been tested for safety or efficacy, and could potentially damage the eyes, the AAO said in a press release.

“Consumers seeing these products on TikTok or elsewhere online need to know that they are not FDA approved,” said JoAnn A. Giaconi, MD, clinical spokesperson for the AAO. “The ads show dramatic before-and-after shots and vague information on how the drops actually work to change eye color. But here’s the reality, there’s no evidence that they do anything at all, and no evidence that they’re safe.”

Because the products are not FDA approved, they have not undergone rigorous safety and efficacy testing, and it’s unclear if Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations were followed during production, the AAO stated in the press release. Unregulated manufacturing facility conditions can lead to contaminated products that can cause dangerous eye infections.
The AAO states the potential safety risks include:
Inflammation
Infection
Light sensitivity
Increased eye pressure or glaucoma
Permanent vision loss
According to the AAO, the manufacturers claim that the drops include an ingredient that adjusts natural levels of melanin in the iris, but there is no evidence that the formula can target the iris pigment. And, if the drops did destroy the pigmented cells in the iris, it could potentially harm the eye, causing light sensitivity, eye inflammation and eventually vision loss. It’s also unclear how other parts of the eye that rely on melanin to function properly, such as the retina, would react to this ingredient.
“Social media and the internet are full of potentially dangerous eye health claims. Bottomline, the Academy advises the public to never put anything in the eye that isn’t made to go in the eye,” Dr. Giaconi said. “You’re putting yourself at risk for painful eye conditions or even blindness.”
According to the AAO, the safest way to change eye color is with colored contact lenses, but only if the lenses are prescribed, dispensed and fitted by a qualified eye health professional.
