U.S. drug regulators are warning people against using eye drops that have amniotic fluid, as no such products are approved for usage in the United States.

Some companies are promoting and selling amniotic fluid eyedrops anyways, claiming they help treat, mitigate, or cure issues such as dry eye disease.
