Popular contact lens solution Renu with Moisture Loc causes severe irritation and infection for consumers, according to the Food & Drug Administration and several accounts from U.S. physicians. ReNu with Moisture Loc contact lens solution is believed to be responsible for the eye infection outbreak this year.
ReNu with Moisture Loc’ was recalled earlier this year due to the fact that under certain circumstances, can increase the risk of Fusarium infection—an uncomfortable eye infection. According to reports, Moisture Loc contains two ingredients not found in other contact lens solutions currently on the market. These unique properties may be the cause of the eye infection outbreak.
Bausch & Lomb withdrew Moisture Loc from United States markets, followed by a worldwide recall in May of this year.
The Center for Disease Control & Prevention has sent field agents to Bausch & Lomb’s plant in Greenfield, SC. No formal statements have been made by the CDC&P. Since the recall, the number of confirmed new cases of Fusarium are minimal.
No risks have been reported with Bausch & Lomb’s other products, including ReNu MultiPlus or ReNu Multi-Purpose.
