SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2007--In response to information received today from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding eye infections from Acanthamoeba, a naturally occurring water-borne organism which can contribute to serious corneal infections, Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) (NYSE:EYE) is immediately and voluntarily recalling its Complete(R) MoisturePlus(TM) contact lens solutions. CDC data was made available to AMO today showing that it had completed interviews with 46 patients who had developed Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) since January 2005. A total of 39 of these patients were soft contact lens wearers, 21 of whom reported using Complete(R) MoisturePlus(TM) products. The CDC estimates a risk of at least seven times greater for those who used Complete(R) MoisturePLUS(TM) solution versus those who did not.

I don't use that solution, but good to know.

Ugh, I heard about this this morning. I had to throw out my LAST pair of contacts. So now I'm stuck with my stupid glasses until pay day next week.

The annoying thing is, I don't usually buy this stuff, but for some reason, it was the stuff I grabbed last week at the store. Brand new giant bottle!

Thanks for the update, I too had to throw out my contacts and all my solution containers; such a pain.

-Actually I have used this type of disinfection vial for many years and love it. Doesn't tear the lenses when stored and works well overall.

DefyingEDCT, I'm with you. This really isn't the only solution that doesn't irritate or dry eye out my eyes by mid-afternoon.

Does anyone know of a decent replacement?
