Bausch & Lomb ReNu with MoistureLoc LitigationIf you, a family member, or someone you know has worn contact lenses, used Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu with MoistureLoc lens cleaning solution and suffered an eye infection, the infection may have been caused by the ReNu solution. The lawyers at TKO filed one of the first class action lawsuits against Bauch & Lomb and currently represent hundreds of individuals nationwide. Federal regulators revealed on April 10, 2006 that they were investigating links between ReNu contact lens solution and a rare fungal infection (Fusarium Keratitis) known to cause blindness. However the manufacturer, Bausch & Lomb, waited three days before withdrawing ReNu with MoistureLoc from the U.S. market. After a month of exhaustive testing, the company issued a worldwide recall, acknowledging for the first time that its $100 million-a-year solution appeared to be the root cause of the serious eye infections. Without prompt diagnosis and treatment—typically, eye drops must be administered for up to three months—the fungus can scar the cornea and cause blindness. Scores of victims have undergone corneal transplants to restore their vision, while many others have suffered vision loss or total blindness. The outbreak first surfaced in Asia, leading to a halt in sales in Singapore and Hong Kong on Feb. 18 that Bausch & Lomb did not disclose in the United States until after cornea specialists began noticing a jump in infections here in March.
