Playing the Blame Game

Whenever there is a recall on a consumer product, the question always remains: where does the fault lie? Developing a product for consumer use takes many steps. You need to think of it, develop it, create it, distribute it, market it and then sell it. So when a product results in injuries, everyone involved in the life cycle of the product has to be questioned.

In the case with Advanced Medical Optics (AMO), they voluntarily pulled there Complete MositurePlus Multipurpose contact lens solution. They may not be convinced that there is something wrong with their product, but at least they were responsive enough to the reported cases to pull their product off the shelf.

So, in this case, who is to blame for the injuries that have been linked to this contact lens solution? It is still under investigation, but some guess it becoming more evident that the disinfectant was missing something. These disinfectant solutions should contain certain substances that will kill bacteria known to cause infections in the eyes. If the solution does not contain these substances, that's when infections occur. Experts are pointing fingers at AMO, stating that they are still not trying to fix their product but instead just planning to market it differently.

AMO does not recognize the link between its product and the infections. AMO feels that any injuries found may have been due to the cleaning errors consumers were making. AMO believes that consumers are not using the disinfectant as it is supposed to be used as well as not following some basic contact lens cleaning rules. They are not washing their hands properly, handling their contact lenses properly or following the cleaning instructions on their solutions' labels or those recommended from an eye professional.

Acanthamoeba keratitis is a very rare disease. If there is indeed a link between the AMO solution and this disease, it needs to be proved and then publicly announced. Although the AMO solution is no longer available, there are still bottles of the solution floating around. Consumers are not aware of the recall and therefore not privy to the details.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are warning consumers to dump any bottles of the solution they own as well as discarding any contact lenses that have been washed with the solution. Since both the FDA and CDC are looking more into the link between AMO's solution and this rare eye infection, communication between these agencies and the general public need to be ongoing.
