My eyes are burning!
More health woes...a few months ago I had some problems with my eyes...specifically, I could not see, not with my glases or my contacts. My eyes were red and they ached. So I went to the eye doc and she diagnosed me with keratitis. She was a little baffled at how I would get this...it's a fungus that can scratch your cornea and make you go blind if left untreated. But whatever, she prescribed an antibiotic and I was all good. Then last week my eyes started bothering me again. Red, irritated, achey. I ordered some new contacts and made an appointment with the eye doc. Fast forward to today. A friend called me this morning to tell me about this. Good grief.

Aw, man. Well, that's not good at all! Is that the kind of contact solution you use?
Maybe you can join a class action law suit so you can reimburse yourself for all of your fertility treatments. ;)
songbird! listen, i just read this article today:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060411/hl_nm/bauschandlomb_dc_4
read it carefully - do you use any solutions by Bausch & Lomb? - and maybe you should report this to your opthamologist. what Erin says above is really not a joke - there very well COULD be a class action lawsuit!
p.s.
duh, i see you already read the article... go to your doc an get a diagnosis on record for sure -
Oh no - I've been using that ReNu stuff. Now I am paranoid and keep looking at my eyes in the mirror. I think that I'll switch to Opti-free or one of those other ones just to be safe.
I just threw away a bunch of the Renu stuff because of the fungal bacteria reports.
Be careful....I hope all is well.
If it aint one thang it's another in the news....Lord!
hi again. here's the FDA report
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/safety/041006-keratitis.html
The fungus is called Fusarium Keratitis.
now i am worried because my eyes have been quite irritated in the past week and i just started using a generic multi-purpose solution - i wonder if it's manufactured by Bausch & Lomb! anyway, thanks for posting about this because i dont think i would have paid attention if it wasn't for you. THANK YOU!
