Moisture Plus contact solution, also known as Advanced Medical Optics MoisturePlus Complete Multipurpose Solution, was recalled in late May of this year after scientists connected it to a rare but serious eye infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this year began receiving numerous complaints about outbreaks of Acanthamoeba keratitis, an infection caused by microscopic parasites that literally infest the human eye. If not controlled in time, the infection can permanently blind its victim by scarring or tearing the cornea, which is responsible for about 80 percent of a person's vision. Such victims will need a cornea transplant if they are to see clearly again. The CDC study strongly correlated the infection with use of Moisture Plus, concluding that infected lens wearers are seven times more likely to have used Moisture Plus than healthy wearers.
