I think some of my friends are still not aware that the Renu contact lens solution has been withdrawn from the Malaysian market. While the product has already been withdrawn from the Singaporean market some 3 weeks ago, it has of course (as usual) taken the Malaysian government a longer time to react.
It was reported that there was a high correlation between the usage of Renu solution and contact lens wearers contracting fungal eye infections. However, it is still inconclusive as to whether Renu really causes the infections as there could be other factors involved like unhygienic practices by the contact lens wearers.

Yeah! I read about it from Screenshots last night. Today I bought Complete travel size, just in case lah. But i still have two big bottles of ReNu unopened plus the current one that i just opened. sigh.. hope i don't have to waste them!
>ET: better to waste them than infect your eyes!
>HL: As far as I know, I don't think it's the same manufacturer. If there are so many brands contaminated, it doesn't leave the consumers with much to use, and these are the leading companies already. Don't think I trust the locally produced ones!
Also, Alcon has more than 1 type of Multi purpose solution, and we don't know which one they are talking about.
