That’s my granny’s cure for everything (besides flat 7up) I don’t think she’ll listen.
That’s only because Holy Water will cure you, big ophthalmology doesn’t want you to know!!!
They don’t have warnings like that for no reason.
Those damn Catholics with their “alternative” therapies
Well now how else am I gonna give myself a subcranial Amoeba infection?
Honestly, nanny state! Ffs!

So someone put contaminated holy water in their post operation eye, it got infected, they lost the eye, they said the medicine provided didn’t warn not to use holy water, they sued, the pharmaceutical company now has to add this warning. Probably…
Just get a priest to bless the drops. Problem solved. Amen.
For every sign there is a story behind it……
What if you get the eye drops blessed by a priest?
Reminds me of the holy water tap near Croagh Patrick with a massive sign saying “BOIL WATER BEFORE USE” beside it.
For the same reason they had to put a warning on microwaves – ‘NOT FOR DRYING PETS!’
Somebody has done it already, with dangerous or fatal results.
My granny used to give us holy water eyedrops, I guess it’s common enough for the HSE to have noticed.
Hahahaha, this is amazing.
My mum hasn’t been voluntarily to church in pretty much my entire lifetime but I still remember her chasing me around trying to make me put holy water in my eye to cure my recurrent eye infections. She’s a bloody nurse.
Holy water is 100% sterile till the Priest dunks his nuts in it

This post has made me smile. Amen.
As a rule of thumb, I would generally follow the last bit of advice fairly regularly.
Not on the Sabbath though, they get drenched in the lord’s water before breakfast 💦
What’s wrong with putting water on your eye?
Remember, someone was the reason for this being added.
This could all be solved by getting the parish priest to bless the eye-drops.
Holy Water would just bless any Microbes instead of killing them
You just know this warning is there because someone stupidly put Holy Water in their eye, and the whole thing melted like a vampire’s skin in sunlight.
IIRCC the rule is you not supposed to drink it or ingest it, just make the sign of the cross and bless yourself with it. You can’t even dispose of it down a regular sink.
Ow my eye! I’m not supposed to get holy water in it!
Too right. Holy water burns like fuck
Idk about holy water but my mother once mistook her wart medicine for her eye drops…. basically put acid in her eye.
Dau Geeesus
Definitely dont. Serious risk of Anthamoeba Keratitis
I knew this was from r/Ireland just from reading the bottom half of the post!
That means someone’s done it.
Totally legit and not something to be laughed at
Older people will attempt to do stuff like this

Shit
It has been scientifically proven that a lot of people undergoing cataract operations are vampires.
