This product has been linked to eye infections - AK (Acanthamoeba Keratitis). AK is potentially blinding, if left untreated. Acanthamoeba occurs in nature. It is usually in soil and water. It has been found in air conditioning units. But the concentration is usually too low to cause a problem and only occurs 1 in 2,000,000 lens wearers. Usually it happens when there is not sufficient cleaning of lenses after swimming in a pool or hot tub. AK infections can cause blindness or permanent eye damage. Who is AMO - Advanced Medical Optics?: AMO is a company that makes eye products. They are based in Santa Ana CA. They hold about 10% of the contact lens solution market share. However, this percent has dropped since the product was pulled from the market due to the AK infections.
There are now over 100 cases reported to the CDC with AK from users of AMO Complete. Users have 7-times the risk of infection as a result of the product.
