According to Study, Advanced Medical Optics Complete MoisturePlus Contact Solution Performed Worst in Killing the Dangerous Strain of Acanthamoeba Keratitis

U.S. health investigators have linked a contact-lens solution made by Advanced Medical Optics to the outbreak of a rare but serious eye infection that can cause blindness.

Advanced Medical Optics Inc., a California company, recalled its Complete MoisturePlus, a contact-lens cleaning solution, after an investigation sparked by the Chicago team found the solution was used by almost 60% of people suffering from a rare outbreak of infections by a microbe known as Acanthamoeba.

The Food and Drug Administration doesn’t require contact-lens solutions to kill amoebas, and they have never done so very successfully. Earlier this year, an Ohio State University team published research on how amoebas survived in three different cleaning solutions — from Bausch & Lomb Inc., Advanced Medical and Alcon Inc. After six hours of soaking, almost all of the strains of Acanthamoeba continued to grow in all three products.
