If you or someone you know wears contact lenses and has suffered an eye infection, contact the personal injury attorneys at TKO by completing the online free case evaluation form or by calling 1-877-525-4100 as soon as possible. The infection may be caused by ReNu contact lens solution. The solution has been linked to severe eye infections, which have caused some people to require corneal transplants while resulting in partial or total blindness in others.

TKO, along with our co-counsel, Aylstock, Witkin & Sasser, PLC, represents hundreds of people in litigation against Bausch & Lomb over ReNu-with MoistureLoc contact lens solution. The firm has filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida and is currently seeking to have a national class certified by the Court. Additionally, the firm has filed and continues to file a number of individual lawsuits throughout the nation.

ReNu Contact Lens Solution Linked to Fusarium Keratitis

Federal regulators revealed on 10 April 2006 that they were investigating links between ReNu contact lens solution and a rare fungal infection (Fusarium Keratitis) known to cause blindness. Without prompt diagnosis and treatment—typically, eye drops must be administered for up to three months—the fungus can scar the cornea and cause blindness. Scores of victims have undergone corneal transplants to restore their vision

Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea, the front part of the eye. An unusual spike in Fusarium keratitis infections first surfaced in Asia, leading to a halt in ReNu contact lens solution sales in Singapore and Hong Kong on 18 February. Bausch & Lomb did not disclose this recall in the United States until after cornea specialists began noticing a jump in infections in the United States in March. At last count, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) said about two-thirds of 122 confirmed cases of the infection in the United States involved lens wearers who reported using ReNu contact lens solution with MoistureLoc.

Preliminary data from the CDC show that a high proportion of cases reported using a Bausch & Lomb ReNu contact lens solution. On 13 April 2006, Bausch & Lomb announced that it was withdrawing all ReNu contact lens solution with MoistureLoc products and is recommending that consumers stop using ReNu contact lens solution immediately.
