    Much as I like Arstechnica, this was one of the worse articles I’ve read there in a while. It’s based off of this bullitin.

    The author seems to have taken this:

    Do not use ophthalmic products that:

    • Are marketed as OTC products to treat serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinopathy or macular degeneration. There > are no OTC treatments for these conditions.
    • Are labeled as homeopathic, as these products should not be marketed.

    And then the author seemed to imply that ALL eye drops are homeopathic and should be pulled, which is not quite what the FDA was saying.

    edit: I hit post before I had finished typing when I had intended to hit preview to check my markdown. edit: And then I missed the typos anyhow. Screw it. Send it.
