    I’ve been using this stuff for a couple of months, and I still have a vast amount of it left (I bought two bottles). Now, I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of having to spend a small fortune on another bottle of lens cleaner vs. contracting a rare fungal infection that causes me to go blind.

    The article says that there are several hundred thousand purchasers of this stuff, but only 109 reports of fusarium keratitis over the last 10 months. So the odds seem good that my bottle is fine, but then the cost of losing is a bit high…

    My girlfriend Michelle pointed out to me that Bausch & Lomb is doing some kind of refund deal.

    You have made me a very happy man today. I’m going to be drowning in new bottles of fungus-free contact lens solution.
