My mom had cataract surgery and lent implant, doctor gave her 2 bottles of eyedrops, tobradex and acular ls; after 2 days of using them I just noticed that tobradex has the label almost erased (ExpXXX8/07) I am not sure if it s expired or label has year first. What are the risks if eyedrops are expired?

Hello,
Expired eye drops can cause allergic reaction.
Watch for symptoms like itching and watering and if you develop these symptoms consult an ophthalmologist at the earliest and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
