Problems Detecting Keratitis (AK) Caused By AMO's Moisture Plus

The real problem with the AMO Moisture Plus recall is getting an early and proper diagnosis. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment of Acanthamoeba Keratitis (AK). The infection is usually diagnosed by an eye specialist based on symptoms, growth of the ameba from a scraping of the eye, and / or seeing the ameba by a process called confocal microscopy.

There seems to be a high rate of false negatives so talk to your doctor: Acanthamoeba Keratitis is often misdiagnosed, and/or confused with other forms of keratitis caused by bacteria, fungus or viruses such as herpes. If you have developed a corneal infection that has not responded well to treatment, you may want to ask your doctor to consider the infection Acanthamoeba

Several prescription eye medications are available for treatment although this infection can be very aggressive. Call your doctor immediately.

Tainted AMO Complete Moisture Plus Recall Lawsuits

Beware contact lens wearers. Tainted Complete Moisture PLUS contact lens solution, manufactured by Advanced Medical Optics (AMO), is still causing eye infections, months after the recall. An unsuspecting public continues to use the solution unaware of the danger of contracting Acanthamoeba Keratitis, a rare but potentially blinding infection of the cornea.

Some of the common Acanthamoeba Keratitis symptoms include: eye pain; red eyes; blurred vision; sensitivity to light & feeling that something is in the eye. A survey by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that a fourth of those infected need corneal transplants.

Although the FDA has recommended that any unused bottles be discarded, if a serious eye infection has been suffered after using the product and you intend to pursue a lawsuit, do not throw away the bottle of contact lens solution. The remainder should be safely stored and properly marked to avoid future use while you investigate your potential claim.
