SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CONTACT LENS WEARERS

Bausch and Lomb have withdrawn the product RENU with MOISTURELOC from the United States, Australian and some other markets because of an increased risk of fusarium infection of the cornea. The withdrawal does not affect any B&L product sold in New Zealand, because the Moistureloc additive has not been released here.

However, if you have bought RENU with MOISTURELOC in another country, it should be discarded and replaced with RENU MULTIPLUS, as sold in New Zealand.

Please contact us if you need further clarification of this advice.

RENU MULTIPLUS is available from us at 10% discount, from most optometrists or pharmacists.
