The FDA announced on May 26, 2007, that Advanced Medical Optics voluntarily recalled its Complete MoisturePlus contact lens solution. The recall was made after the company received reports of people developing Acanthamoeba keratitis, a type of serious eye infection. Contact lens owners who use this solution should stop using it immediately.
The FDA suggests that consumers throw away the unused solution, however, if you have suffered from an eye infection after using the solution, do not discard it. Keep the solution in a safe area and contact an attorney.
This recall comes approximately one and a half years after the recall of Bausch and Lomb’s Renu with MoistureLoc. That solution was also reported to cause severe eye infections and several lawsuits are currently pending against the manufacturer.
