Vista, Bio Glo and CHNaO eye products recalled for sterility

Wizcure Pharma is recalling seven eye products sold nationwide: Vista dry eye drops (Vista Tears, Vista Gel, Vista Meibo Tears and Vista Gonio), Bio Glo and BioGlo fluorescein diagnostic test strips, and CHNaO fluorescein test strips. The FDA says the products were not made under current good manufacturing practices, so the company cannot assure they are sterile. No injuries have been reported.
