Voltaren Eye Drops

I have an unopened bottle of voltaren eye drops with an expiry date of October 2010.   I just ran out of the Voltaren I am using and have a new prescription to get some more and don't have the money at this time to fill it.  Would it be safe to use this unopened bottle as I have read that most medications are really good for 5 years after expiry and drug companies just put the expiry dates on so people will throw them away.  I had my cataract surgery January 2011 so it is completely healed but I still have inflammation so I need to keep taking Voltaren eye drops.

Thank you
