Dear U.S. Eye Care Professional:

Bausch & Lomb is committed to partnering with you to promote a healthy, compliant lens-wearing experience for your patients. To that end, we want to provide you with answers to questions regarding the recent press releases and media coverage of the Acanthamoeba investigation - and reinforce the importance of educating patients on proper contact lens wear and care.

• What lens-care solutions are effective against Acanthamoeba?
  Although Acanthamoeba testing is not part of the FDA/ISO standards for lens-care solution approval, published data on solution effectiveness against it is available. Please click here to review laboratory data on the efficacy of lens-care solutions against Acanthamoeba. This published study data on the efficacy of ReNu MultiPlus® Solution will reaffirm your confidence in recommending it to your patients.
  
  
• How can I help my patients understand the importance of proper lens wear and care?
  Your recommendations and guidance on proper handling of contact lenses will go a long way toward ensuring your patients understand how to properly take care of their lenses. To reinforce your message to your patients, please encourage them to visit www.renucares.com where they will find information on healthy and enjoyable contact lens wear.

At Bausch & Lomb, we are committed to the health and safety of your patients’ eyes. We will provide you with additional information in the coming weeks.

Sincerely,

Chris Snyder, OD, MS, FAAO
