Advanced Medical Optics Voluntarily Recalls
Complete
MoisturePlus Contact Lens Solution


The U.S. Food and
Drug Administration is alerting health care
professionals and their
patients who wear soft contact lenses about a
voluntary recall of
Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose Solution
manufactured by
Advanced Medical Optics of Santa Ana, Ca.


The company is
taking this action as a precaution because of reports of
a rare, but serious, eye infection, Acanthamoeba

keratitis, caused by a parasite.

The link
between the solution and the infection was
identified as a result of
an investigation by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
(CDC).


Consumers who wear soft contact lenses should
stop using the
solution, discard all partially-used or unopened
bottles and replace
their lenses and storage container.


"We
believe the company acted responsibly in taking this voluntary
action
and support their decision to be proactive in the interest of
public
health," said Daniel Schultz, M.D., director of FDA's Center for
Devices
and Radiological Health. "FDA and CDC are working closely with
the
company to collect additional information and we will continue to
alert
consumers and advise them as more information becomes available."


Acanthamoeba
keratitis may lead to vision loss with some patients
requiring a
corneal transplant. The infection primarily affects
otherwise
healthy people who wear contact lenses.


Consumers should ask
their doctor about choosing an
appropriate alternative
cleaning/disinfecting product and seek immediate
treatment if they
have symptoms of eye infection as early diagnosis is
important for
effective treatment. The symptoms of Acanthamoeba
keratitis
can be very similar to those of other more common eye
infections and
may include eye pain or redness, blurred vision, light
sensitivity,
sensation of something in the eye or excessive tearing but Acanthamoeba
is more difficult to treat.


It is estimated that Acanthamoeba
keratitis infections occur in
approximately 2 out of every 1
million contact lens users in the United
States each year. However,
in a multi-state investigation to evaluate a
recent increase in Acanthamoeba
keratitis cases, CDC determined
that the risk of developing AK was
at least seven times greater for
those consumers who used Complete
MoisturePlus solution versus those who
did not. Additional
information regarding the CDC results is available
at the CDC
website http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/previe
w/mmwrhtml/mm56d526a1.htm.
"

The ongoing CDC investigation is a
collaborative effort," said Michael
Beach, M.D., a Division of
Parasitic Diseases team leader with CDC. "We
are working with FDA,
state, territory, university, and clinical
partners in an effort to
further understand whether usage or
contamination of this solution
led to these Acanthamoeba
infections."



All contact lens users should closely adhere to the
following
measures to help prevent eye infections:

Remove contact lenses before any activity involving

contact with water, including showering, using a hot tub, or swimming.

Wash hands with soap and water and dry them before
handling
contact lenses.

Clean contact
lenses according to manufacturer
guidelines and instructions from an
eye care professional.

Use fresh
cleaning or disinfecting solution each
time lenses are cleaned and
stored. Never reuse or top off old solution.


Never use saline solution and rewetting drops to
disinfect
lenses. Neither solution is an effective or approved
disinfectant.

Schedule regular eye exams with your eye care
professional


Wear and replace contact lenses
according to the
schedule prescribed by your eye care professional.

Store lenses in a proper storage case.
Storage cases should be irrigated with sterile
contact
lens solution (never use tap water) and left open to dry after
each
use.


Replace storage cases at
least once every three
months.
