Bausch & Lomb Contact Lens Solution
A number of class action personal injury lawyers expect that 500 to 700 people will seek damages for a rare fungal infection linked to a Bausch & Lomb contact lens solution. According to the Centers for Disease Control, of the 180 reported infections, 59 of them required cornea transplants.
I wear contacts and, thinking it was nothing, I continued to use the Bausch & Lomb solution even after I heard about the possible contamination. In hindsight, this was incredibly stupid; a cornea transplant is a serious thing that no one wants. Still, I do not think this litigation is going anywhere beyond those who required cornea transplants. I expect these claims will be resolved quickly with Bausch & Lomb overpaying for them just to resolve the cases and move forward.
