The agency has identified 68 patients in 16 states with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a type of bacterium resistant to most antibiotics. Eight patients have lost vision in at least one of their eyes. Some have had to undergo corneal transplants.
Most said they had used a variety of eyedrops before becoming ill, but EzriCare Artificial Tears was most commonly reported. Those drops have since been recalled, along with Delsam Pharma's Artificial Tears and its Artificial Eye Ointment.

That sucks.
I sometimes use eye drops on one eye; following cataract surgery it sometimes seems to need artificial tears once in a while.
Systane is one good one.
I noticed that some drops are "preservative free."
FUCK that shit; I want preservatives in my eye drops to kill the fucking bacteria that will kill me.
