Optic maker Bausch & Lomb has recalled ReNu with MoistureLoc from the market after evidence showed a link between Fusarium Keratitis, a fungal eye infection and the contact lens cleaner. So far there have been 122 cases of Fusarium Keratitis reported in the United States, most of which are linked to the contact lens cleaner ReNu with MoistureLoc. So far, eight of these patients have had to undergo corneal transplants to correct the problem.

Fusarium Keratitis is generally characterized by severe corneal inflammation as a result of contaminated contact lenses. Although modern-day contact lenses attempt to reduce the occurrence of fungal infections, contaminated solutions like ReNu with MoistureLoc have been known to increase the number of cases of fungal Keratitis. This type of fungal infection can cause a series of serious vision problems including discomfort, eye pain and sensitivity to light. In some cases it can even lead to blindness.

ReNu with MoistureLoc is one of Bausch & Lomb’s most popular products. Their product information claims that ReNu with MoistureLoc contact solution “provides sustained comfort yet cleanses, disinfects, rinses, stores, removes protein daily for soft contact lenses without the need to rub.” It’s unfortunate that this product has been linked to such serious injury.

If you or a loved one has been injured by the use of ReNu with MoistureLoc then you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries. It’s very important that you contact an experienced and knowledgeable ReNu recall lawyer today.
