Since Bausch & Lomb recalled shipments of it's contact lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc, there have been more cases of Fusarium Keratitis
,an eye infection that can cause serious injury, that have been reported with some of the infected users having the key factor of using this particular contact lens solution. The FDA is continuing research on the matter but Bausch & Lomb has proposed that the unique characteristics of the MoistureLoc feature under certain conditions may cause increased risk of fusarium keratitis. Bausch & Lomb has recalled the ReNu with MoistureLoc line worldwide because of the increased possibility of it's link to the increased risk of fusarium keratitis.
How the ReNu with MoistureLoc Recall Affects Contact Lens Wearers
The ReNu with MoistureLoc recall affects a lot of people who currently are already using this particular contact lens solution. Most contact lens wearers stick to a certain contact solution and those currently using ReNu with MoistureLoc should be aware that certain unique conditions may increase the chances of developing fusarium keratitis. Contact wearers who have used ReNu with MoistureLoc should definitely be checked out by an ophthalmologist especially if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms: increased light sensitivity, blurry vision, redness, loss of vision, pain, tearing, discharge or swelling. Contact lens wearers should stop using ReNu with MoistureLoc and throw away all remnants of the solution. Find an alternative contact solution like a rub and rinse type that removes a lot of bacteria and other agents. It is possible that other contact solutions may also cause a higher risk for fusarium keratitis, thus contact lens wearers should continue good contact lens care and visit a doctor if any symptoms are present. Because fusarium keratitis can be better treated if spotted early, those who have used ReNu with MoistureLoc and are experiencing problems should visit an ophthalmologist immediately.
ReNu Recall and Consumer Rights
There are already several law firms that are already gathering clients for cases against Bausch & Lomb. Be advised however that for those who see an ophthalmologist early can get treated at an earlier stage will be better off. Fusarium keratitis is a serious disease that can lead to blindness. ReNu recall lawyers should only be sought once the direct cause of fusarium keratitis has been determined in each patient. Remember it is better to have one's vision than to lose it. Those who feel that since using ReNu with MoistureLoc, fusarium keratitis has developed do have a legal right for damages to their vision.
