Moisture Plus is a contact lens solution that can seriously injure its users by causing potentially blinding eye infections. A study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shown a strong association between Moisture Plus and the eye disease Acanthamoeba keratitis, an infection caused by contact with microscopic waterborne parasites. If left untreated, the infection can scar or tear the cornea -- the part of the eye responsible for about 80% of our sight -- causing partial or complete blindness. Although no studies have yet been able to prove that Moisture Plus is contaminated with the parasites, the company voluntarily recalled the solution on May 25, 2007. Shortly after, the FDA issued a warning to contact lens wearers asking them not to use the solution and to throw away any lenses, containers or other equipment it may have touched. It has also asked doctors and their patients to watch for symptoms of the infection, which include redness of the eyes, excessive tears, discharge, blurred or double vision, a feeing of something caught in the eye and pain.

How Can A Moisture Plus Injury Attorney Help?

Legally, a personal injury is any wrong done by the deliberate act or carelessness of another. Victims of Moisture Plus are physically injured by their infections, as well as any blindness or other serious results of the infections. However, a Moisture Plus injury attorney can show they were also injured financially by Moisture Plus, because they spent money on a product that should have been safe but was not; because they must replace their lenses and equipment; and because they had to see an eye doctor to treat the infection. If they lose part or all of their sight, a Moisture Plus Injury attorney can also show that victims are further financially injured by their inability to work; the necessity for new equipment, training and assistance to help them perform daily tasks; and the expensive cornea transplant surgery that many will need. Those injuries to victims' finances are in addition to the non-financial injuries that a Moisture Plus attorney can demonstrate, such as pain and suffering, loss of independence and an immeasurable loss in quality of life.

Financial Benefits of a Moisture Plus Injury Attorney

Victims of a Moisture Plus injury are legally entitled to hold the manufacturer financially responsible for their injuries. A Moisture Plus injury attorney can help recover money to pay past and future medical bills; compensation for loss of a job or inability to work; and damages that compensate victims for their permanent disability, pain and suffering.
