I work for an eye doctor.  We have been in contact almost every day with our Sales Rep from Bausch & Lomb (the company that makes ReNu).  They have advised us not to hand out the solution for the time being.  The Center for Disease Control is investigating the cases reported and trying to discover the cause.  They discovered that the infected patients have all been using the ReNu Solution, but no direct cause has been determined yet.  The CDC has NOT specifically accused B&L for the outbreak but have asked them to halt production and distribution for the time being.  This fungus is extremely rare and only about 50 actual cases of it have been reported.  I think it is important to note that ReNu has been using "Moisture Loc" in their solution for years.  The FDA never approved it until now so that's why they never advertised it and changed the labels on their bottles.  So the actuality of this particular solution causing the fungus is highly unlikely since the same solution has existed for several years now.  However, you should be cautious and proper contact lens care should be used when cleaning and handling your lenses.  Always wash your hands before putting them in and taking them out.  Always use a lens solution that has disinfecting properties.  Sterile saline cleans, but does not disinfect.  This particular fungus does cause permanant eye damage.  If you think you have symptoms, you should consult your eye doctor immediately.  Some symptoms include:\nSudden Vision Loss\nCloudiness\nRed and Irritated Eyes\nPain or Pressure\nAlso, if you are actually diagnosed, be sure that your doctor reports your case to the CDC and B&L.  Please pass this information along and encourage people to consult their eye doctors if they have questions.  Calling B&L directly is not effective and is not recommended.

You take your own until such time as you see a Marine eye doctor who will verify prescription and order your regulation glasses.  Sorry no contacts

i think that it might be okay if you keep it in the solution for a month (you might want to replace the solution every 5-7 days.. but check with your optometrist first) but DON'T swim with them.. when soft contact lenses get completely wet, they stick to your eyeball like no other.. and it becomes really difficult to remove them.. i know.. from experience :/

Defective Product Injury\nRepresenting the injured, the wronged and their families\nReNu and Fusarium Keratitis\nContact Lens Solution ReNu® with MoistureLoc® Linked to Severe Eye Infections\n\nBausch & Lomb, an eye health care company, has asked retailers across the nation to remove its contact lens solution ReNu® with MoistureLoc® from store shelves after receiving reports of fungal eye infections, known as Fusarium keratitis, in consumers using the product. The company recommends that people using ReNu with MoistureLoc try a different contact lens solution while the source of the infections is investigated (1).\n\nUpdate: On May 15, 2006, Bausch & Lomb, supported by the FDA, initiated a worldwide recall of all ReNu with MoistureLoc products.The company proposed that unique characteristics of the product can increase the risk of Fusarium infection (2).\n\nLawsuits are being filed across the country against the manufacturer. One case filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, New York, alleges that Bausch & Lomb officials were aware as far back as February of 2006 that ReNu with MoistureLoc could cause eye infections; reports of infections in Singapore and Hong Kong resulted in a suspension of the product being shipped there two months before Bausch & Lomb’s official April announcement (3) of fungal eye infections possibly resulting from use of ReNu with MoistureLoc.\n\nOf the Fusarium keratitis cases officially investigated, more than 86% of them occurred in patients using one of Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu products (3). The investigation resulted after a New Jersey ophthalmologist contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to inform them he had recently treated three patients suffering from Fusarium keratitis, a previously rare disease. Further investigation revealed that doctors across the country have also seen a rise of Fusarium keratitis cases (3).\n\nTo date, there have been 176 cases of Fusarium keratitis believed to be associated with the contact lens solution. These cases have been found in 28 states, and at least 8 patients have required corneal transplants resulting from the infection (4).\n\nWhat is Fusarium Keratitis?\nFusarium keratitis, also known as fungal keratitis, is a serious and painful disease affecting the cornea of the eye and results in:\n\nBlurred vision\nSwelling\nPain in and around the eye\nRedness and tenderness that does not improve when the lens is removed\nIncreased sensitivity to light\nExcessive tearing or discharge\nPermanent blindness if the condition is left untreated\nThe cornea is the clear layering protecting the eye from dust, germs, and debris. It also acts as the outermost lens of the eye and focuses the entry of light into the retina. The cornea is responsible for 65-75% of the eye’s focusing power. Fungal keratitis may appear as a feathery grayish-white lesion and is often difficult to distinguish from other eye infections. If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.\n\nFree Consultation\nFungal keratitis is a serious condition that can result in blindness if left untreated. If you have used ReNu with MoistureLoc contact solution and suffered fungal keratitis, contact a lawyer at our firm today for a free and confidential evaluation of your case.\n\nThis law firm is not associated with, sponsored by, or affiliated with Bausch & Lomb, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the New York Times, or USA Today.\n\nSources:

You have to get another eye exam and get a prescription. The prescriptions expire after 1 year, because you're supposed to get an eye exam yearly. Sorry, I know it sucks!

That's strange.  Did you ask about it at the pharmacy counter?  Maybe there is a reason they don't carry it anymore?\n\nWalgreens DOES carry it.  Try there.  http://www.walgreens.com

If you are getting daily disposables, no problem. Just throw them out each night.\nIf you get the ones designed for longer wear, follow your optometrist's instructions carefully.  Disinfect your contacts everyday, using fresh solution each time.  Replace the storage case every month.  Never share your contacts with your friends (this actually does happen).

I don't know of any that can be worn for a year without removing.  however, gas permeable lenses, even though they need to be removed every night, last for many years. they cost approx.  $150.

Try AMO Complete solution. You should check with your eye dr. before resuming contact lens wear though.

Not yet.  It's very popular in glasses right now, so I'm sure there's a company somewhere trying to figure out how to get it to work in contacts.

there should be a discontinued items section of their website or something. It usually has the items that they dont advertise anymore, but they tend to cost more than what it used to be
