Contact Solution Recall Blog

The woman says a common contact lens solution caused a severe infection in her eye. Now, she can’t even see her own children.  The solution in question is Complete Moisture Plus. Its manufacturer recalled it in May, but one grandma says by that time, her damage was done.

Donna Ponder was using the contact lens solution for just four months when her left eye started to hurt.  “It felt itchy, burning, always teary,” said Ponder.  She went to her eye doctor and found out that Advanced Medical Optics announced a recall.

“The company, A.M.O., announced a recall of this product last May and admitted its product was contaminated, causing infections,” said Spohrer and Dodd attorney Bob Spohrer.  Ponder was diagnosed with Acanthamoeba Keratitis.  “The Acanthamoeba is an especially virulent bug. It’s aggressive, it’s difficult to diagnose, it’s difficult to treat,” said Spohrer.

The makers of the solution say they can’t comment on pending litigation but say they are dealing with at least three other suits because of this product.  The suit is also filed against K-Mart, where Ponder bought the lens solution.
