Expiry date is for bottles not opened.  If opened once  ....it's more prone for contamination.  Never use beyond 1 month. Discard it even if little is still there and use fresh one.

Ma'am it's not recommended to use any Eyedrops beyond one month of opening it . So always put a date over the Eyedrops whenever you open it.

Usually the eye drops are safe upto 6 weeks after opening. Avoid using after that duration.
