FDA recalls millions of Lupin eye drops over possible contaminant

The FDA has recalled more than 2.5 million bottles of Lupin's prednisolone acetate eye drops due to a possible foreign substance; the substance and its entry method aren’t identified. The affected bottles (5 mL, 10 mL, 15 mL) are from India-based Lupin and are used to reduce inflammation after eye surgery or for allergies. Because this is a Class II recall (high risk), patients should not stop using the product on their own and should consult an eye doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on their condition.

Spinach-Powered Eye Drops Harness Light to Fight Dry Eye

Spinach-Powered Eye Drops Harness Light to Fight Dry Eye

A team from the National University of Singapore developed LEAF—light-reaction enriched thylakoid NADPH-foundry—by delivering spinach-derived photosynthetic machinery as eye drops. When exposed to ambient light, the transplanted thylakoids generate NADPH in mammalian eye cells to counter ROS, reducing inflammation associated with dry eye. In lab tests and mice, LEAF outperformed Restasis and tear-fluid assays showed oxidant reductions; clinical trials are planned. However, the particles degrade within hours and long-term efficacy and safety in humans remain to be determined, with potential applications for other light-activated therapies.

Revolutionary Eye Drops Could Make Reading Glasses Obsolete

Researchers have developed special eye drops containing pilocarpine and diclofenac that can improve near vision in presbyopia patients, potentially reducing the need for reading glasses. The study showed significant and sustained improvements over two years, though further research is needed to confirm safety and effectiveness. These drops offer a promising non-invasive alternative for those who cannot undergo surgery or prefer to avoid glasses.
