Today, I noticed that the eye drops I have been using three times a day for the past week expired when the Jonas Brothers were popular. FML

Neat, never-expiring eye drops! It's like Willy Wonka became an ophthalmologist!

Always check unless you wanna visit the ophthalmologist!

How do you not notice you've had them for that long?

OH MY GOD YOURE USING EYE DROPS THAT EXPIRED NEVER?!

you kinda deserved it for not cheaking or even just for having it for that long

not sure why most people clicked your life sucks when you deserve it. you literally did it.

medication expiration dates don't do any harm. what that's there for is the potency of the medication is less than when it was fresh. taken "expired" medication (99% of the time) does no harm. unless the medication explicitly days do not take after such time, you're okay.

I assume the expiry date is for when they can't guarantee it's sterile anymore. You don't really want to mess around with stuff you're putting in your eye, especially if you're using it to treat an infection. If OP hasn't noticed any problems (their eyes feeling gritty for a long time etc.) it's most likely nothing to worry about though.

You do not need just eye drops; you need glasses/contact lenses or a seeing-eye dog. Just be glad it wasn't some corrosive fluid.

I actually do wear glasses. I was wearing my contacts that day and my eyes got dry.
