Concerned about ReNu MoistureLoc and perhaps the need for a cornea transplant for an infected eye?

A number of ReNu MoistureLoc contact lens solution users have developed a fungus called "fusarium" in their eyes after cleaning their contact lenses with ReNu, which can lead to loss of vision, and blindness, which may result int the need for a cornea transplant.

A cornea transplant, also known as a corneal graft or penetrating keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by donated corneal tissue which has been removed from a recently deceased individual having no known diseases which might affect the viability of the donated tissue.

The experienced dangerous drug attorneys at Weitz & Luxenberg can help you fight back against Bausch & Lomb, the manufacturer of the ReNu contact lens solution, by filing a lawsuit if you developed a fungal eye infection and now require, or required, a cornea transplant.

The cornea is the clear part of eye in front of the iris and pupil. The surgical procedure is performed by ophthalmologists, medical doctors who specialize in eyes, and are often done on an outpatient basis (The patient goes home following surgery).

On the day of the surgery, the patient arrives to either a hospital or an outpatient surgery center, where the procedure will be performed.The patient is given a brief physical examination by the surgical team and is taken to the operating room. In the OR, the patient lays down on an operating table and is either given general anesthesia, or local anesthesia and a sedative.

With anesthesia induced, the surgical team prepares the eye to be operated on and drapes the face around the eye. An eyelid speculum is placed to keep the lids open, and some lubrication is placed on the eye to prevent drying. A metal ring is then stitched to the sclera, which will provide a base for a trephine.

A trephine is then placed over the cornea and is used by the surgeon to cut the host cornea. The trephine is then removed and the surgeon cuts a circular graft (a "button") from the donor cornea. Once this is done, the surgeon returns to the patient's eye and removes the host cornea.

The donor cornea is then brought into the surgical field and manuvered into place with forceps. Once in place, the surgeon will fasten the cornea to the eye with a running stitch (as used in the image above) or a multiple interrupted stiches. The surgeon finishes up by reforming the anterior chamber with a sterile solution injected by a canula, then testing that it's watertight by placing a dye on the wound exterior.

With the metal ring removed and antibiotic eyedrops placed, the eye is patched, and the patient is taken to a recovery area while the effects of the anesthesia wear off. The patient typically goes home following this and sees the doctor the following day for the first post operative appointment.
