I tend to keep eye drops for much longer that a month, but the packaging advises that one should discard of it after a month, some say three weeks. Is this a marketing spiel? If not, why do they recommend such a thort time period?

Expiration dates are actually guidelines... but eye drops can be especially vulnerable to contamination if the bottle tip comes in contact with eye lashes. Prescriptions can be used for a reasonable time after the expiration date as this is a way for the ******** companies to sell more products.. so the answer to your question would be - it's a marketing "spiel"
