CONTACT lens wearers should stop using Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu lens solution because of a “very strong association” between it and a recent spate of fungal corneal infections, the Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
Senior Minister of State for Health Dr Balaji Sadasivan said 39 people were now known to have suffered fungal infections of the cornea since January last year, although it was only in the second half of the year that the number of infections shot up.
