Health Ministry Advises Lens Users To Discontinue Using ReNu Solution

SINGAPORE, Feb 21 -- The Health Ministry has strongly advised contact lens users to discontinue the use of Bausch & Lomb (S) Pte Ltd (B & L) ReNu multipurpose contact lens solution following a recent case of contact lens-related fungal corneal infections.

The ministry said that the advice was a precautionary measure until the causes behind the recent increase in infections could be more clearly ascertained."B & L will advise consumers on what to do with existing stocks of their product," it said in a statement.

In the meanwhile, contact lens users were advised to practise proper contact lens care while those who have experienced any symptoms of infection, such as redness of eyes or pain or itchiness, should consult a doctor immediately.

The ministry said that investigations were ongoing on the matter."B & L has voluntarily suspended sales of its ReNu multipurpose solution, and is cooperating with the Ministry of Health and Health Science Authority in the investigations," the ministry said.As of Monday, there were 39 cases of fungal corneal infection with a history of contact lens use.

Out of the 39 cases, 34 said that they had used ReNu, four were unsure of the brand of contact lens solution they used and one had used a different brand.
