North Texas doctors want you to be on the lookout for something that could leave you permanently blind.

Last week, the CDC warned about two contaminated brands of eye drops that are the subject of a recall – Delsam Pharma's Artificial Tears and EzriCare Artificial Tears.There's a good possibility that people who don't know about the danger may already have them in medicine cabinets or still find them on some store shelves despite the recall.

Some bottles of the dry eye solutions were found to have bacterial contamination resulting in 55 cases of infections, some causing permanent blindness and even one death. Symptoms associated with the infections include watery eyes, itching, redness, light sensitivity, cloudiness and pain.
