A member asked:
I have an unopened box with 4 bottles of refresh tears eye drops. the expiration date was august 2013. is it safe to use these drops?

Probably OK but no: Would not use it. It may will be OK but safest to not use it and get new refill.

If stored safely, Y: That is a legal expiration date. If you store it in good conditions, most drugs way outlast their legal dates.
