Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) has announced a recall of its Complete MoisturePlus contact lens solution product. The recall is in response to information received from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding eye infections from Acanthamoeba, a naturally occurring water-borne organism which can contribute to serious corneal infections.

The U.S. recall includes approximately 183,000 units, representing less than one percent of COMPLETE MoisturePLUS contact lens products distributed in the U.S. on an annual basis. Based on its investigation to date, AMO said it believes the likelihood of users experiencing an adverse reaction is low. However, the company said it is taking a conservative approach and is conducting the recall in the best interest of its customers.
