Bausch & Lomb's ReNu Contact Lens Cleaner was recently found to be the cause of outbreaks of fungal eye infections worldwide; this article explains the reasons why this particular formula had to be permanently recalled.

hi, I just found about this from TV and this website. I always use Bausch & Lomb's Contact Lens Cleaner for 3 years. I never had that problem, but are you that it does cause a problem? What should I do now? What is the name of contact lens cleaner that is 100% safe? Thank you.
