Bausch & Lomb Renu MoistureLoc Product Information

Renu with MoistureLoc

Founded in 1853 in Rochester, New York, Bausch & Lomb is one of the oldest medical supply companies in America. It specializes in medical optics such as contact lenses and surgical instruments and employs over 10,000 people with revenues of over $2.2 billion annually. Ophthalmologists and optometrists alike regularly request Bausch & Lomb product information, but recent allegations of dangerous eye infections has called this practice into question.

One of Bausch & Lomb's most popular products is ReNu with MoistureLoc. Bausch & Lomb product information claims that ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution "provides sustained comfort yet cleans, disinfects, rinses, stores, removes protein daily for soft contact lenses without the need to rub." Normal contact lens solutions require the wearer to rub the contacts with solution to remove the daily grit and enzymes that accumulate during the course of a day. Without proper cleaning, contacts can become painful to wear and cause scarring of the cornea or even serious eye infections.

A link to Fusarium keratitis:

Unfortunately, Bausch & Lomb's ReNu with MoistureLoc has been linked to at least 30 cases of the eye infection Fusarium keratitis. This fungal infection can cause a host of potentially serious vision problems including eye pain, discomfort, and sensitivity to light. In extreme cases surgery is needed to remove dangerous growths, a very painful and expensive last ditch resort to save a victim's eyesight.

Safety of Bausch & Lomb's products:

The possibility as losing one's eyesight is a terrifying ordeal. Although many people trusted Bausch & Lomb's product information regarding the safety of ReNu with MoistureLoc, the recent allegations of dangerous Fusarium keratitis eye infections have called into question the safety of all of Bausch & Lomb's products. If you have suffered because you weren't warned of the serious risks of ReNu with MoistureLoc in a timely manner, you need to consult a lawyer immediately. You could be entitled to recover financial compensation for your injuries.
