       Every homeopathic eye drop should be pulled off the market, FDA saysEye drops are uniquely risky because the eye is an immune-privileged site.https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/12/every-homeopathic-eye-drop-should-be-pulled-off-the-market-fda-says/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

       @arstechnica@mastodon.social I mean... It's water... I don't think safety is a reason it should be pulled off the market... if they don't want to recognise it as a medicine because it has less-than-negligible quantities of medicine, they shouldn't be concerned about the safety of it for the exact same reasons. It's just water. Water isn't bad for your eyes.

       @cody @arstechnica It's water _with bacteria in it_ that's introduced because there's no process control that ensures that it's actually sterile.Don't put bacteria in your eyes. If you want to put water in your eyes, go get some saline that's manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure sterility.

       @dave_andersen@hachyderm.io @arstechnica@mastodon.social not 100% sure on this, but I do believe the solution in most if not all homeopathic eye drops IS sterile saline... They're not selling you tap water.

       @cody @arstechnica The same legal quirks that let them sell their stuff as if it was effective let them manufacture it without any oversight to make sure that they're actually making it sterile.

       @dave_andersen@hachyderm.io Am I going to get bacteria in my eyes when I shower or wash my face off in the morning? Now ya'll got me paranoid. @cody@catboy.baby @arstechnica@mastodon.social
