Over the past several months, the FDA and CDC have investigated an outbreak of Fusarium keratitis occurring in America, predominantly among contact lens wearers. Fusarium Keratitis is a serious fungal eye infection which if left untreated can result in corneal injury and potential blindness

The CDC's interest in ReNu with MoistureLoc is based on the disproportionate number of cases of Fusarium keratitis observed over other contact lens solution products on the market

Bausch & Lomb pulled ReNu with MoistureLoc from the Hong Kong market in February of 2006, after multiple report of Fusarium keratitis flooded their doors from their international market. However, Bausch & Lomb took no action to remove this product from the American market until April 13, 2006.

On May 15, 2006, Bausch and Lomb announced its decision to permanently remove all ReNu with MoistureLoc products worldwide.

Millions of Americans wear contact lens and are cautioned to stop using Bausch and Lomb ReNu with MositureLoc products. Consult your doctor immediately if you are experiencing an eye infection or have blurred vision.
