We’ve received questions about the recent FDA eye drop recall of certain Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension USP 1% eye drops.
If you are using the post-operative compounded combination eye drops (purple cap) dispensed by the Tower Clock Surgery Center, they are NOT affected by this recall. These drops are made by a different manufacturer and are safe to continue using as directed.
