How long is the shelf life of Japanese eye drops

In the eyes of many people, eye drops can still be used after opening the bottle as long as they have not expired and no precipitation has occurred. In fact, the shelf life on the eye drops packaging usually refers to the case where the bottle has not been opened, which is generally 1 to 3 years. Once opened, if not used up after 4 weeks, discard immediately.

After the eye drops are opened, the storage environment has changed and the efficacy will gradually weaken. During use and storage, the medicine solution may also be contaminated by microorganisms in the air, posing a safety hazard. If used improperly, the dropper may come into contact with the cornea when applying eye drops, which may increase the risk of eye infection.

For people who don't use eye drops often, it would be a waste to throw them away after 4 weeks. It is recommended that this group of people choose eye drops in small bottles without preservatives.

Eye drops can generally be kept under a warm temperature. If they need to be refrigerated, they should be handled according to the instructions. Wash your hands before using eye drops to avoid infection. Eye drops should be placed in the conjunctival sac between the lower eyelid and the eyeball. The bottle mouth should not touch the eyes. One to two drops are sufficient each time. After applying eye drops, close your eyes and press the lower corners of your eyes for 1-2 minutes.

This is an introduction to the brands and prices of Japanese eye drops, and also an introduction to their approximate shelf life. If the eye drops are expired, do not use them.
