OSN SuperSite - The Voice of Ophthalmology - latest news and articles from Ocular Surgery News; Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging; Journal of Refractive Surgery; and Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus According to this news release:

"there is no evidence of product contamination, tampering, counterfeiting or sterility failure. That leads us to conclude that some aspect of the MoistureLoc formula may be increasing the relative risk of Fusarium infection in unusual circumstances."

Another troubling note is that there were three cases of patients developing fusarium keratitis who used Alcon's Optifree ReFResh.
