On May 29, 2007, government officials warned the public of at least 138 confirmed cases of acanthamoeba keratitis, a parasite-caused infection that can be difficult to detect and treat. Advanced Medical Optics subsequently recalled 2.9 million bottles of the same contact lens solution.

Acanthamoeba is the name of a parasite. If this organism gets on the cornea of your eye, it can cause a serious infection known as acanthamoeba keratitis. Recent studies show that individuals who used Complete Moisture PLUS were almost seven times more likely to develop this condition than those who did not.

The recalled COMPLETE® Moisture PLUS™ lots include:
