According to AC Nielsen Market Data, the recalled contact-lens solution ReNu with MoistureLoC had maintained a 2 percent market share into early September, despite the fact that distribution of the Bausch and Lomb product was halted on April 9. Use of ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution has been connected to a serious fungal eye infection. Recent market data questions whether or not Bausch & Lomb has been diligent in alerting retailers, patients, and medical professionals to the contact lens solution's potential dangers.
Bausch and Lomb has encountered a great deal of criticism for their handling of the ReNu with MoistureLoc situation. Many researchers allege that the company had reason for concern about the product's safety well before they announced any action. Many critics believe that the company had been alerted by medical officials in Hong Kong about the potentially dangerous side effects as far back as November of 2005. (Market Share)
