PSA: Contact Lens Solution Contamination - AMO
Permalink Closed

CDC released a dispatch stating that there could be a dangerous contamination in AMO MoisturePlus contact solution. That's the stuff I use.  cry

CDC recommends replacing your contact lens solution, container *and* contact lenses.  I called my eye doctor to see if I should replace my actual contact lenses, and I'm waiting to hear back from the office.

They recommended either ReNu or OptiFree. I've never tried ReNu, but am skittish about it since it had a recall earlier this year. I bought OptiFree.


ETA:  My eye doc office called me back and told me I didn't have to replace my contact lenses.  They said to rub them for 10 seconds each w/ my new solution before I put them in their case for the night.
