Eye drop and ophthalmic recalls

106 FDA-recorded recalls of eye drop and ophthalmics, most recent Sep 2026 — newest first, straight from the FDA's own database.

The largest recent eye-product recalls were for LOSS OF STERILITY — sterile eye drops and artificial tears contaminated during manufacture, most seriously the 2023 outbreak tied to drug-resistant bacteria that caused infections, vision loss and deaths. Sterility matters more for the eye than for the gut: a contaminant is placed directly on the eye. If a product you use is recalled for a sterility or contamination reason, stop using it and follow the FDA notice.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Blood pressure medication · Cholesterol medication · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic · Thyroid medication · Allergy and antihistamine · Hormonal and contraceptive · ADHD and stimulant medication · Opioid and pain medication · Seizure and epilepsy medication · Asthma and inhaler · Heartburn and acid-reflux medication. See also the full recalls tracker and the recall report.

Source: the openFDA drug Enforcement (recall) database. Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
