According to a recent CBS News article, the FDA has issued a warning to consumers about two eye drop products due to potential bacterial or fungal contamination. The products, "Dr. Berne's MSM Drops 5% Solution" and "LightEyez MSM Eye Drops – Eye Repair," are being advised against for use as they could pose serious health risks, including potentially vision- and life-threatening infections. The FDA hasn’t received reports of adverse events, but their testing found contamination and lack of sterility, violating regulatory standards. Both products contain an unapproved active ingredient, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
