I work for an optometrist and have been told to pull all of the RE-NU with "moisture Lock" from our shelves and not to give it to our patients until further notice.We chose to pull all of our RENU products just to be safe. The fungus is called "Fusariuim Keratitis" and can cause blindness if goes untreated. The CDC has yet to find the cause of this infection as of yet. I believe it had been taken off the market indefinitely. Honestly most of these solutions are pretty much the same (for soft contact lenses) you best bet for the $ is the Wal-Mart brand. (They really are all the same.)

Yes, I remember. It was a certain formula of Renu. It has already been pulled from the shelves.

Yes- and since I've been a customer of theirs for so long they sent me a coupon for two 12-oz. free bottles of RENU. (It was the brand that was safe)
