I regret taking expired eyedrops

Since last weekend, my eyes have nearly regressed to before I took them (when they were still new) with all the symptoms of dry eye syndrome. It's been a few days since I threw it out and made sure I'm more hydrated, which has helped a lot in alleviating those symptoms.

Today I've decided not to deliver for UberEats because the lower half of my body hurts so much I can barely use the stairs. I'm also not going to deliver tomorrow because it'll be the hottest day of this 3 day heatwave. So without the wind, dehydrating foods, and intense lights (sun and flourescent), I should recover much faster over these next 2 days.

If my eyes don't fully recover by the end of this weekend, I'm gonna have to consider getting new eyedrops again. I've also gonna cut my eyelashes because they've grown too long, but I won't cut them as short as I did the 1st time.

You need to be seen asap. It is unlikely related to an expiration date. It could be that the drops are contaminated, there was a major recall of a brand. I am a clinical toxicologist, so I am not just blowing smoke!

@samueltyler2 it's still gonna take a few days for me to meet with an ophthalmologist anyways, even if I go to the hospital or walk-in clinic to check my eyes out

Pills usually are good way past the expiration date but drops and creams ,especially when opened are suss
@bookerdana the label on Systane Ultra said to throw it out after 3 months once opened; I used it for almost a month after that, so my fault for screwing up my own eyes
