Systane recall....should I be worried?

[clintsmommy]

I was wondering if anyone else is concerned about the Systane recall. The liquid gel drops is really the only drops I use. Their website claims that it is harmless mold, but when you already have irritated eyes it sure doesn't help. I had a minor eye infection a week ago. My eye was raw feeling and my vision was kinda blurry. I guess if it was the drops it would have affected both eyes. I am just a little concerned because I think even if it was a big deal, Systane would downplay it. Has anyone had any problems?

See also Alcon's FAQ about the recall which contains advice for people who are using Systane Free.

Hate to be so simplistic but if you are worried about your eyes after using Systane Free, and especially if you have experienced any eye infection, please call the doctor.
