ReNu Recall Attorney | Lawyer Helping Victims of Fungal Keratitis
What is Fungal Keratitis?
Fungal keratitis is a serious and painful disease of the cornea caused by a fungal organism. Until now, fungal keratitis has rarely been reported in the healthy contact lens wearing population. It typically occurs after trauma associated with plant matter or in immuno-compromised individuals. The higher incidence of fungal keratitis among normal contact lens wearers is a new finding.
If medication does not work and the eye is damaged, surgery may be necessary to remove fungal ulcers/lesions. Symptoms of fungal keratitis include eye pain, eye discomfort, decrease in vision and light hypersensitivity.
Last year, clusters of fungal keratitis were reported by contact-lens users in Asia, and recently Bausch & Lomb voluntarily suspended sales of ReNu solutions in Hong Kong and Singapore after reports of infections among users there. The product sold there was made at the South Carolina plant.
