1 .5 oz bottle Hypo Tears. A small individual dose like minidrops works ideally in tight spaces.

I hadn't found a source for the little ampules. However while the one of the grocery stores today I scored! They carried them so I have replaced the bottle with two ampules. Cool.


I was at the dog park the other day and my dog got some grass seeds in her eye. I nabbed my FAK and used some of these eye drop ampules to flush them out.

So I go to re-fill the used items. The particular ones I have are called Bion Tears. They come in a box with little foil packets. The foil packets contain four individually sealed ampules.

When opening the foil packet, I notice the following note: "Use all containers within four days of opening pouch."

Why would they go bad?

Are they safe to use? I really just need sterile saline, but I figured these would be OK too since they are ment to be safe to put in your eyes. Hmm.

Thoughts?

BTW, I'm still pretty happy with my current EDC FAK. At this point I don't tend to carry the gloves anymore, but will probably revisit that when I can get myself some individual packaged gloves so I don't always have to try to stuff them in there.

Thanks,
