I just heard that Renu contact lens cleaner is being taken off the shelves....because alot of people who use it have been in contact with an infection that can cause blindness...and others have needed surgery and eye replacements....or just eye removals....it affects the cornia and its very damaging......i dont know if this is late and everyone knows about this but at least i put it out there.....

Wow InACorner, where did you read that? My son's eye doctor just gave him that 2 days ago and said the problem was people trying to reuse their old solution. Said that it would be fine as long as you changed your solution daily and your lenses case every few months.
Very interested in hearing more! Since I have three bottles of the stuff in the bathroom right now and three kids with contacts. __________________ I've been married for 24 years and have four wonderful children. |

I use Renu Multipurpose solution .......... but have not experienced any infections.
I do change my solution every time I wear my lenses (which isn't every single day). __________________  Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long. |

Sabrina,
Yes, you're right, according to kids Opt. the solution must be changed after each use. Never ever reuse. __________________ I've been married for 24 years and have four wonderful children. |

It happened last year; now if you got the fungus from using the products, you can get a settlement:
