AMO Recalls Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution
Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) is recalling their Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution after the CDC discovered that 138 people using the solution contracted acanthamoeba keratitis (AK).

UIC investigators think the infection is not originating in the manufacturing process, but that the cleaning solution is not protecting people from the infection, which they get in their eyes through showering or swimming, Tu said.
AK is caused by an amoeba, which if left untreated, can cause pain and blindness.

If you have AMO Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution, throw out the solution, your contact lenses, the lens' storage case, and call (888) 899-9183. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

I saw it alright....I was just trying some new contact solutions because my opti-free was starting to make my eyes feel really dry. I used this once, and now I have to throw away a pair of contacts I only wore once too...grrrr.:mad:

I read they knew there was a problem actually some years back with this product. I had used this product and loved it at one time. I switched when I kept getting eye infections. I refuse to buy this product again.
