TOPEKA (KSNT) - Federal health officials say eye drops sold nationally are being recalled this week, as they may cause vision damage due to the presence of fungus. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Dec. 23 that Alcon Laboratories, based out of Texas, is voluntarily recalling a single lot of "Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra SPF, Single Vials On-the-Go" as they may be contaminated with fungus. The eye drops come in 25-count packages and are sold at the consumer level. The FDA warns that fugal contamination in eye products are known to cause infections that can threaten a person's ability to see. In rarer cases, these infections can become life-threatening for immunocompromised patients. The producer of the eye drops has yet to receive any reports of infection related to the recalled product.
