A member asked:
Refresh plus eye drops will be expired within 3 months , is it safe to be used ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The dates on products such as eye drops are usually very conservative. The biggest issue in using longer is that bacterial growth can start on the applicator tip once the cap is removed. I recommend that using longer than 3 months isn't a good idea even if the dates are ok.
