MoisturePlus lawyers have stepped forward to help contact lens wearers who have been injured by using MoisturePlus, a contact lens solution now believed to be contaminated. The Food and Drug Administration called for a recall of the solution in late May of 2007 after a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study implicated it in an epidemic of a rare but potentially blinding eye infection called Acanthamoeba keratitis. The CDC's preliminary study showed that contact lens wearers with the infection were seven times more likely to have used MoisturePlus than healthy lens users. In response, MoisturePlus lawyers have already started pursuing litigation to compensate the seriously injured MoisturePlus users. Smart MoisturePlus lawyers expect many more such lawsuits as the outbreak continues.

Why Call MoisturePlus Lawyers?

Acanthamoeba keratitis is caused by a tiny water-borne parasite called Acanthamoeba that infects the cornea, the part of the eye responsible for most of our vision. At first, the symptoms resemble those of pinkeye (conjunctivitis): redness, excessive tears, blurry vision, sensitivity to light and a feeling that something is caught in the eye. Advanced cases of Acathamoeba keratitis can scar or rip the cornea, causing partial or total blindness. Acathamoeba keratitis is normally quite rare; the CDC estimates, based on past cases, that it should occur in 30 to 60 of our nation's 30 million soft contact lens wearers. However, the agency received reports of a sharp upswing in cases of the infection starting as early as 2003. Its preliminary investigation turned up more than 130 Americans with Acanthamoeba keratitis; MoisturePlus lawyers expect many more as the investigation continues. Complicating matters, the infection often becomes serious even in those who seek medical treatment early, because it's rare, resistant to medication and is sometimes misdiagnosed at first. Victims of MoisturePlus who suffer these deep infections may need cornea transplants to reverse their blindness. In pain, angry and afraid, many are turning to MoisturePlus lawyers to hold the makers of the solution financially and ethically responsible for their injuries.

How MoisturePlus Lawyers Can Help

Like any maufacturer, the maker of MoisturePlus has a legal duty to ensure that its products are safe. When it fails in that duty, victims may ask MoisturePlus lawyers to hold the manufacturer legally liable for its actions. Blindness is a catastrophic, life-changing injury; victims often must relearn how to do basic things like get around, cook a meal and read. They may not be able to work the same jobs or pursue the same activities anymore; they are certainly denied the simple pleasures of a pretty view or a loved one's smile. MoisturePlus lawyers can help these victims be compensated for their financial losses, such as loss of a job or expensive medical treatment, as well as non-economic losses such as permanent disability and pain. MoisturePlus lawyers are in every state; many have extensive experience with other unsafe contact lens cases, including a previous MoisturePlus recall.
