Use of Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu MoistureLoc Contact Lens Solution causes many serious side effects, one of them being a fungal eye infection called Fusariam keratitis. Fusarium is a genus of filamentous fungi widely distributed on plants and in the soil. The main toxins produced by Fusarium are fumonisins related to esophageal cancer in humans. Additional to being a common contaminant and plant fungus, Fusarium can cause a range of infections in humans that occur in the nails and corneas of the eyes. Fumonisins are also responsible for causing ulcers, necrosis, and other lesions of the skin in addition to infections in some organs and tissues.
Keratitis is a general term for describing inflammation of the cornea. The use of ReNu MoistureLoc Contact Lens Solution can cause such a condition, along with a fungal infection. The fungus can cause serious damage to the cornea if it is not treated immediately. In the most extreme cases, this condition can lead to corneal transplants and sometimes even blindness.
