URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL NOTICE

COMPLETE(r) MoisturePLUS (TM) CONTACT LENS CARE PRODUCTS

Manufactured by AMO

Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) has announced a voluntary and immediate recall of its COMPLETE(r) MoisturePLUS(TM) contact lens solution. The recall is being initiated because of concerns over eye infections from Acanthamoeba, a naturally occurring water-borne organism which can contribute to serious corneal infections.

There is no evidence to suggest that today's recall is related to a product contamination issue and this does not impact any of AMO's other contact lens care products, including their hydrogen peroxide disinfecting solutions.

While AMO believes the likelihood of users experiencing an adverse reaction is low, They have taken a conservative approach and are conducting the recall in the best interests of our customers
