:eek: What the HECK!!! I would find out WHY those were on the shelf to being w/!! That is just crazy!!! You have too much to deal with and you didn't need to go thru all of that mess too!!!!:mad: I would be fuming!!! |
V you poor thing, glad you got that resolved, i know what that feels like as i get my eyes dilated all the time due to my macular degeneration, it makes your eyes soo sensitive ! I'd be p#$% ! Something like that should not be available without a Dr. i'd be looking into that !:eek: |
Good grief, Villette! So THAT'S what was wrong with your eyes! I remember you thinking it was medications...and too much crying, etc. Thank goodness you figured out about these drops, because I doubt that's good for your eyes when you don't need that. I bought some drops once and thank goodness I read the box when I got home and found they were for some sort of eye disease that I didn't have, so I took it back. Hugs to you! |

Yes - The drops were right in the isle - I remember buying them but don't have the receipt anymore - I do know this - I used almost the whole bottle ! I never dreamed they'd be something that shouldn't have been in the store - and thanks Connie - Having gigantic pupils didn't help at all with all I had to do the last few months - but I'm just glad to finally know WHAT was happening. I wish I had a receipt cause I sure would go back to that store and raise holy h*ll - :mad: and it's been over 12 hours since I did it and that one eye is STILL big time dialated:( |
Wow V, thank God you found out why. That is very scary. I think I would be fuming if it was me. |
Id call each store and ask if they sell this brand of eye drop first off and see what their reaction is?? Maybe go to both the stores and see if it is still on the shelf..If they sell it on the shelf I would speak to the manager or go higher.. |
whats the name of the eyedrops?? |

Perhaps you need to go back to the store and inquire about that? It seems very dangerous to me for that to be happening. I hope your eye is on the mend. Truly scary! What was the brand??? |

we narrowed it down to Kroger - the OTC medications are right on the way to the checkout line - I had sort of a breakdown in that store back then -and must have grabbed them on my way out:( It sure looks like the OTC Baush & Lomb with the red and White bottle - and now that my eyes are better (cept for the one Stepford Eye) it DOES Say RX at the bottom in tiny letters - but again - my eyes have been SO dialated since September I couldn't read any fine print. I had to buy those magnifying / reading glasses and just last week stopped using them lol - someone made a big mistake stocking the shelves in Kroger and I do plan on calling them on Monday. I look pretty freaky with one HUGE eye and one regular eye today - it's been over 12 hours and still the same. |

and NOW to find out you were taking something so dangerous, you were lucky to not have had a driving accident. Perhaps you can make a fuss and get some retribution? I am not litigious but if you tell them that you just might mention this to the local newspaper, they will see fit to pay your doctor bill at the very least. If it says RX on it and there is no label with your name and doctor's name on it (like a real prescription would have)... you can prove that it was inadvertently put on the OTC shelf by their error. |
omg!!! i just saw on tv last week about a class action law suit concerning eye problems from otc eye drops. you should look into it. they stated about 500 people are affected. |
Wow, I do agree that you should definitely pursue this. I know how it feels to not have the money available to go to the dr. but then have no choice. I know everyone says "oh, but your health is so important" but sometimes financially it just hurts to do it. You certainly should try to recoup some of your medical expenses from the store. It's really not the eyedrop manufacturer's fault that the store stocked the Rx drops where they shouldn't have so I would go as high up at the store as you can. It's too bad you don't have the receipt (shoot, I'm positive I wouldn't have a receipt laying around) but hopefully they'll deal with you in a positive way. So glad the mystery has been solved. I sure hope your stepford eye goes back to normal soon! |

i don't think it costs anything if a class action suit is already filed. |

Good luck when you talk to them. Know that you have us all behind you! I'm not a big sue-happy kind of person but I do believe you should stand up for yourself and make people accountable. At least get your medical bills paid for. They should really hope that you don't have long-term problems from this. The eyes are nothing to mess around with! |
You guys are the best - and thanks - you gave me some ideas. We're tracked everytime we shop by our debit or 'store' cards and I bet I can prove where I bought it since I only went to 2 stores back then...I could hardly leave the house for 2 months and the only reason I did was to get the girls their chicken so I KNOW it was probably kroger and I'm going to call their offices today |
