Our firm is currently representing 2 individuals injured by this product.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, contact lens wearers were seventeen (17) times more likely to contract a serious eye infection known as acanthamoeba keratitis if they used this product as opposed to other Multi Purpose Cleansing solutions.  Even though the product was recalled from the market in May of 2007, cases continue to come in involving this product.  One of the reasons for this is because the company that recalled the product did a very poor job in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the product was initially recalled in May of 2007, by August of 2007, the CDC noticed that cases were continuing to come in to them through eye centers throughout the Country.  This, of course, indicated that the recall was being haphazardly handled by the Company.  Indeed, the CDC conducted a survey which indicated that many members of the public did not know that the solution had been recalled nor did many members of the medical and ophthalmology community in general.  Thus, the CDC mandated stricter compliance with recall regulations by Advanced Medical Optics, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Acanthamoeba keratitis is a very serious eye infection.  It is believed that the acanthamoeba attached to contact lens and penetrated into the epithelium of the cornea because of the ingredient formulas distinct for this particular eye cleansing solution.  Regrettably, the manufacturer did not advise the public at the time this product was marketed that the Multi Purpose Solution was ineffective at killing acanthamoeba, a known risk for contact lens wearers.  The product was marketed on the basis of eye comfort verses efficacy.  Regrettably, even though hydrogen peroxide cleaning solutions are much more effective at killing acanthamoeba than are Multi Purpose Solutions, the lay public does not appreciate this distinction and therefore has been using disinfecting solutions like AMO Complete Moisture Plus without a full appreciation of the danger in doing so.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finchmccranie.com\/blog\/contact-lens-solution-lawsuits\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Contact Lens Solution Lawsuits Continue\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May of 2007, Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. recalled one of its contact lens cleaning solutions, known as AMO Complete Moisture Plus.
