MoisturePlus contact lens solution as a source of acanthamoeba keratitis.

Cornea - 1 Feb 2009

Hasler Simon, Dedes Wasiliki, Mathis Alexander, Grimm Felix, Thiel Michael A

Abstract excerpt

Recently, it was suggested that the use of the Advanced Medical Optics Complete MoisturePlus multipurpose cleaning solution might be a risk factor for contracting Acanthamoeba keratitis, and the manufacturer voluntarily recalled it in May 2007. Polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of a variable part of the 18S rRNA gene allowed for the first time tracking of Advanced Medical Optics Complete...
