Complete Contact Solution!!!!!!

A contact lens solution that federal officials say could cause a rare but serious eye infection is being recalled. If left untreated, the infection could cost people their eyesight, the officials say.

Advanced Medical Optics is pulling its Complete MoisturePlus solution form store shelves. It's a cleanser for soft contact lenses that's also used to store them.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the company is making the move as a precaution, after reports of acanthamoeba keratitis, which is caused by a parasite. The FDA says link between the solution and the infection was identified by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention probe.

The solution appears to have caused infections in at least 138 patients since January 2005, the CDC says.

Consumers who wear soft contact lenses should stop using the solution, discard all partially-used or unopened bottles and replace their lenses and storage container, the FDA adds.

Dr. Robert Cykiert, an eye specialist and associate professor of ophthalmology at the NYU School of Medicine, discussed the situation on The Early Show Tuesday with co-anchor Harry Smith.
