AP - Bausch & Lomb Inc. said Monday it has permanently removed from the market a contact-lens solution that has been linked to an outbreak of fungal eye infections that can cause blindness.

AP - Nearly two-thirds of contact-lens wearers who contracted a potentially blinding fungal eye infection reported using Bausch & Lomb Inc.'s newest lens cleaner, health authorities said Tuesday.

A lawsuit has been filed against Bausch & Lomb on behalf of a woman who went blind in left eye after using ReNu with MositurLoc. The woman was diagnosed with Fusarium keratitis, which ultimately led to blindness. The CDC and FDA have warned about a high rate of Fusarium infections among users of ReNu with MositurLoc.
