Contrary to the warnings of AMO, Inc, the FDA and the CDC, Hissey Kientz advises users to contact their physician regarding proper disposal of contaminated products.
The firm strongly recommends users of the recalled solution ("AMO Complete") to substantiate usage before disposal.
AMO Complete was recalled by Advanced Medical Optics on May 25, 2007, after the CDC determined that more than half of the patients it interviewed had developed the eye infection
Acanthamoeba keratitis after using the solution. The CDC has identified at least 138 Acanthamoeba keratitis infections so far. Doctors estimate that about half of these patients may
eventually require a cornea transplant to correct the damage to their eyesight from infection.
