Free Contact Lens Solution

The AMO decided to recall the unsafe solution after the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported a number of cases of a rare but serious and potentially blinding eye disease associated with the solution. Users of the Moisture Plus are advised to contact a doctor if they experience any of the following symptoms:



* eye pain or redness



* blurred vision



* sensitivity to light



* the feeling of something in the eye



* excessive tearing



Details of the Moisture Plus Recall



The disease, Acanthamoeba Keratitis, has been confirmed in 138 patients since the beginning of the outbreak in January 2005, according to the CDC.



Of these 138, the epidemiologists have been able to interview 46, 21 of whom claimed to have used the AMO Moisture Plus solution. The disease itself is a keratitis, or an inflammation of the cornea, caused by the presence of the Acanthamoeba parasite.



This corneal disease is both serious and difficult to treat, as it does not respond well to medication and can lead to loss of sight in the patient. While the agency has been quick to point out the preliminary nature of the link between the corneal disease and Moisture Plus, AMO did not hesitate in instituting the recall and has advised anyone using the unsafe solution to discard all bottles, as well as any lenses or lens cases that may have come in contact with the Moisture Plus lens solution.
