US health officials say that eyedrops may have killed one person and severely injured several others due to drug-resistant bacterial contamination.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have identified 68 patients across 16 states with a rare strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The strain had never been found in the US before this latest outbreak.
In addition to the one death, eight patients have suffered vision loss, and four have had eyes surgically removed.
