ReNu MoistureLoc gives you Eye Fungus!

Wow this is a real bad deal if it is true.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Monday that 109 preliminary reports of a rare fungal infection that may cause loss of vision had been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 17 U.S. states.

The agency said it was not aware of a direct link between the Fusarium fungus and any specific product, but in 26 cases so far, patients used the ReNu MoistureLoc solution.

Hmm, 26 out of 109 is 23% which a pretty high chance I should think. I would never use something that has a 23% chance of making you go blind. And the idea of a fungus growing on your eye sounds like some kind of attack by a Myconid or other DND monster. The worst part about it is that they are still selling this vile substance:

The FDA said Bausch was not pulling its existing MoistureLoc product from U.S. stores, but urged the roughly 30 million Americans who wear soft contact lenses to keep their hands and lens cases clean.

Is this a picture of a Bausch & Lomb scientist? Nope this is what a Myconid looks like:
