Problems with Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus

Acanthamoeba is a type of microscopic parasite that lives in water, soil, heating and cooling systems and sewage systems. When Acanthamoeba is transmitted into the human eye -- in this case, through the use of Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus -- it can cause a rare but serious infection of the cornea called Acanthamoeba keratitis. Symptoms of the infection include pain in the eyes; blurred or double vision; oversensitivity to light; excessive tearing or discharge; or a feeling that there's something in the eye. If left untreated too long, Acanthamoeba keratitis can cause severe scarring of the cornea, which can cause partial or complete blindness in victims. Complicating the problem, doctors who are unaware of the problem with Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus may misdiagnose the infection at first because it's so rare, losing crucial treatment time, during which the cornea may be seriously scarred. Patients who are treated too late or don't respond to medication may need corneal transplants.

Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus Recall

After an investigation by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Advanced Medical Optics voluntarily recalled Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus on May 25, 2007. Since it launched its investigation in March of 2007, the CDC has found more than 138 Americans with the rare infection. The agency estimated that the risk of developing Acanthamoeba keratitis was seven times greater for those who used Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus than for those who did not. It is not yet understood how Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus could have become tainted with this parasite, although the company and health authorities are investigating. However, given the problems with Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus, many of America's estimated 30 million contact lens wearers and their loved ones may be wondering whether they have a legal case. If you or someone you love was infected after use of Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus, you should contact an experienced Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus attorney in your state immediately to protect your legal rights.
