ReNu with MoistureLoc Information and Warnings
ReNu with MoistureLoc, Bausch & Lomb’s new soft contact lens solution, was voluntarily removed from the market by the manufacturer after the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) released statistics showing an alarming number of reports of a usually rare fungal eye infection called Fusarium keratitis. If this infection is not diagnosed and treated right away, it can cause serious eye damage or blindness. Suffers may need a cornea transplant.

The CDC information about Fusarium keratitis cases was released in April 2006, but this was not the first time Bausch & Lomb had been alerted to possible problems with ReNu with MoistureLoc. In 2005 and early 2006 there had been reports in Asia of Fusarium keratitis cases possibly linked to ReNu. Bausch & Lomb stopped selling ReNu in Singapore and Hong Kong in February 2006, but continued to market the product in the US until the CDC statistics became public 2 months later.
Bausch & Lomb stopped shipping ReNu with MoistureLoc on April 10, 2006, but did not voluntarily withdraw it from the market until some major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Sears, Kmart, Rite Aid, and CVS Corporation, began to pull the product off the shelves. Bausch & Lomb announced its intentions to withdraw the product in a press release on April 13, 2006. It began running media ads on April 14th with a ReNu with MoistureLoc warning, advising consumers to use other contact lens solutions until the situation is resolved and offering refunds if the product is returned.
