Today, I noticed that the eye drops I have been using three times a day for the past week expired when the Jonas Brothers were popular. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up with pink eye. My mom tried to help by putting drops in. It started burning like hell; she didn't understand why. It turns out she was putting ear drops in my eye. FML
Today, I discovered that the medicated eye drops I have been taking to fight a mild eye infection show up under black lights when I walked into a party and the whole left side of my face was glowing. FML
Today, I realized how exhausted I was when I mixed up my eye makeup remover with toner. My eye still burns. FML
Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that leaving eye drops in your car all day makes them scorching hot. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, I opened my new contact lenses for the first time in a month and accidentally dropped one, only to watch it disappear helplessly down the drain. Give a name to the situation. FML
Today, at work, we finally got a digital projector so our theater can show 3D movies. Our first movie is The Jonas Brothers Concert. FML
Today, I woke up with pink eye. Trying to avoid going to the doctor, I searched through my cabinet for an old RX of antibiotic eyedrops. I found a tube of antibiotic ointment labeled “For optic use only.” Only after putting in my eye did I Google what it was: Dog eye ointment. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Neat, never-expiring eye drops! It's like Willy Wonka became an ophthalmologist!

medication expiration dates don't do any harm. what that's there for is the potency of the medication is less than when it was fresh. taken "expired" medication (99% of the time) does no harm. unless the medication explicitly days do not take after such time, you're okay.

I assume the expiry date is for when they can't guarantee it's sterile anymore. You don't really want to mess around with stuff you're putting in your eye, especially if you're using it to treat an infection. If OP hasn't noticed any problems (their eyes feeling gritty for a long time etc.) it's most likely nothing to worry about though.

You do not need just eye drops; you need glasses/contact lenses or a seeing-eye dog. Just be glad it wasn't some corrosive fluid.

I actually do wear glasses. I was wearing my contacts that day and my eyes got dry.
