Contact Lens Solution Linked to Eye Infections

May 29, 2007 As of May 25, 2007 AMO Canada removed their contact lens solution Complete MoisturePlus from store shelves. The solution was removed due to a few reports of a rare and serious eye infection called Acanthamoeba keratitis caused by a parasite. Dr. Naruszewicz, Dr. Wilk and Associates are recommending to all their patients that they stop using Complete MoisturePlus until more information becomes available. In addition, they are recommending Solocare or Optifree as "All in One" solution alternatives or Clear Care. These contact lens solutions are available at any pharmacy or drugstore.

In a statement released by AMO Friday: "As patient safety is paramount to AMO, the company is taking decisive action to stop shipments, recall product from the marketplace, and encourage consumers to discontinue the use of AMO Complete MoisturePlus until further information is available."

If you are currently using Complete MoisturePlus please discontinue use of the solution--do not throw out until further notice. Throw your contact lens case away and discard any contacts that have already been soaked in the solution and seek advice from your optometrist on a suitable contact lens solution replacement. For further information on Complete MoisturePlus or any other AMO products please contact your optometrist. We will keep you posted with updates as they become available.
