I for one used Renu never had any problems and when i heard about this, i switched ASAP.
That sucks that she is going through this. Tell her we all said to heal up quick, and take care of her. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Angie, she did use Renu, we heard about it(the recall) from her eye doctor and were told to bring in what she was using. It wasn't the same exact product as what was recalled but they are testing it anyway. She does use the longwear contacts but when she can start using them again she has been instructed to no longer sleep with them in.

Mornin PSAR, well Julies problem with her eye turned out to be worse than I ever imagined. We had thought it was just allergies acting up when we were down in florence. It just kept getting worse and worse. She has been to the eye specialist every day this week so far as well as the MD's and they have determined she has a fungus type of infection in her eye. At one point they were not sure if she would lose her eye or not. They have saved her eye but she may still have a permanent vision loss in the eye, and scar tissue at the very least. They can't tell us for sure what caused it, but it may be something she was using with her contacts. We have been having to put 3 different kinds of medication in her eye every hour on the hour day and night two different kinds of special drops and a paste. She goes back in today at 11:00 am again for some kind of procedure. Monday they had to scrape her eye to remove the fungus and she is in a great deal of pain. They said yesterday that there was a slight improvment so she is responding to the meds. It kills me to see her hurting so bad and there's nothing I can do to help her. To add insult to injury the focking insurance company is not paying for the special meds as they are compounded and non formulary. Poor thing, she has a nasty sinus infection to boot so she's double miserable. I'll keep everone posted as to how she's doing.

Tell Julie we are so sorry to hear all the pain she is going thru, I remember in talking to her when she started feeling bad at the dunes how she thought it was just sinuses but never had a clue it would turn out like this. Hugs to you both and hopefully the meds will do their thing quickly without perm damage.
Take care,
Val

Hey all, Julie just got out of the eye doctors and she showed some more improvment today. Monday she could not read the big "E" at the top of the eye chart, today she can read the 2nd line down so all the medicated drops and salve they have her using seem to be working. They did perscribe some stronger pain meds and some anti inflamitorys as her eye lid is still really swelled up. She gets to rest untill Friday before any more poking and prodding, so things are looking a little better.
Thanks again for the well wishes, your a great bunch of people.
Randy

It's very good to hear that she is getting some improvement. It's never a good thing when you starting to lose eye sight. I scratched my eye on sunday, i tried for an hour to get my contact out got so frustrated i went to bed. Woke up the next morning and my contact was laying on the bathroom counter and my eye sight was all messed up. So for this whole week i'm taking a break from my contact for that eye. Let me tell you things are very blurry. when i'm on the computer i have to close the blurry eye, just to see what i'm doing. LOL
