A new study reveals that nearly a third of all fusarium infections caused by Bausch and Lomb's recalled contact lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc result in the need for corneal transplants. This study rebuts propaganda widely disseminated by Bausch and Lomb that these infections are not that frequent or damaging. The question is with all the mounting evidence, when will Bausch and Lomb come clean with the people it has so badly mislead?

This research spearheaded by the Center for Disease Control adds additional fuel to the fire burning hotter and hotter under Bausch's corporate keester.

One-third of patients with a serious eye infection associated with a Bausch & Lomb Inc. contact-lens solution had such severe disease that they had, or are scheduled to have, a corneal transplant to replace the eye's outer surface, according to research led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The contact-lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc, was removed from worldwide markets in May after it was linked to several cases in the United States and Asia of fusarium keratitis, a fungal infection that can cause blindness.
