Contact Lenses Solution taken off market?
412108
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

It's perfectly fine to do that (as long as the contacts don't have any power and your glasses are up-to-date).  Just be sure that you're taking proper care of the contacts (cleaning them correctly, not overwearing them, etc).

Since Spiegel has apparently discontinued them, your best bet is eBay.

They have protein deposits on them from your tears so they are less effective to correct your sight.  Non-disposable contact lenses need to be soaked in a very nasty enzyme solution at least once a week to get rid of the protein deposits.

no. your eye gets damaged from continued exposure to the contact lens.

If you have the new silicone contact lenses (like Acuvue Oasys), some solutions will work better than others.  Aquify and Renu with MoistureLoc are both good solutions that are approved for use with these lenses.  I don't believe that OptiFree Express is.  It's really best to use the one that your eye doctor recommended.  If you don't think it's working right, call your doctor for a new recommendation.

Maybe if you mess up your eye with toxic waste, antoher than that I'm not sure. But I found this one cool pic when I seen the thing about the contacts. It's true they are real. But as I was looking they are like $200 for a pair. Which if you really love 'em that much is pennies.

If I remember correctly, the contacts that were recalled were the weird cosmetic ones that, for whatever reason, didn't require a prescription... they were the ones that had things like swirls and cats-eyes.\n\nTinted lenses from a big-name company that you buy from your optometrist are probably going to be fine.

No, they haven't discontinued it, but according to the automated message on their hotline, the plant that manufactures it is going through some sort of equipment upgrade, and so it won't be on the shelves again until the beginning of April.\n\nI was freaking out myself thinking they'd done something stupid like discontinued it, because I'd gone to like 10 stores in L.A. myself trying to find the darn stuff. I can't use the other manufacturer's brands because they use preservatives, so I was really worried and called Ciba Vision to find out what in flipping hell was going on. :-)\n\nIt really blows having to wait, but if you can hold out until April, all will be good. Better than having it disappear completely though. I just hope they don't change the formula or anything, because I really rely on it.

One of the previous clothing suppliers that went into liquidation was Bairdswear, in Telford. This was into liquidation, I think in the mid 1990's

You need to throw that old solution out!! You are setting yourself for a really bad infection because the solution is not cleaning the lenses as it once did. I used old solution for 4 months after it expired and my lenses started becoming harder and harder to get out of my eye. Eventually one of my eyes ended up getting infected because the solution no longer had enough of the ingredient to cleans off the protein buildup. Yuck that was worse than pink eye! \n\nMy advice is to get rid of it and invest a few dollars in some fresh solution that has everything you need to maintain clean lenses and healthy eyes!

Have you switched contact solutions lately?  If not, you still might be sensitive to the brand you are using.  Itchy eyes can often be fixed by simply changing the brand of solution you are using.\n\nHowever, I would go see your eye doctor first before trying to wear them again.  He can make sure you don't have a mild infection going on.  If he finds nothing wrong, try switching your solution.

Please give Proactiv Solution a try! It has all those things above that you are looking for. Works super, great, terrific!  It is such a great product! And i have tried it all! You can go on eBay and get it cheaper than going to their website or from the TV. On eBay you will save more money.

you can buy colored contacts with no correctiveness, but they're expensive. most any place that sells contacts has them
