What is the formulation of ReNu that could cause eye infections?
The unique characteristics of the formulation of the ReNu with MoistureLoc product increases the risk of Fusarium infection. For example, ReNu with MoistureLoc is unique in that it employs a preservative/disinfectant, alexidine, which is new to the ophthalmic field. In addition, Bausch and Lomb incorporated in the product a novel wetting and cleaning "complex" called MoistureLoc, which consists of a synergistic combination of polyquaternium 10 and poloxamer 407, acts to enhance the wettability of silicone hydrogel lenses.
