Bausch & Lomb finally pulls Renu With MoistureLoc lens solution
ABC News reports Bausch and Lomb pulled Renu with MoistureLock.
This is apparently a permanent withdrawal of the product from store shelves worldwide.
The FDA is still testing the contact lens eye car product.
A director at the FDA is quoted in the article as saying the problem clearly just has to do wit the MoistureLoc solution.
The product has been sold in the United States since 2004. The number of cases of Fusarium keratitis in the US has risen to 122, the article says.
The article says the company halted sales of MoistureLoc on April 13.
Interestingly, I went out to CVS after the halt in sales was announced. I saw the Renu with MoistureLoc product on their sales. A lot of boxes were there, right alongside all the other contact lens solutions.
I kind of wonder if IJ went back and looked today if it might still be there, right where I saw it after its sales were supposedly halted a month ago.
