I think that the 02 optix is a very good lens; I have
used this lens extensively with good results. Your
son sounds like he has gpc (giant papillary
conjunctivitis) which can have occured with likely
any other brand(s) of cl's. So blaming the gpc
on the 02 optix is misguided. It sounds like your
son is out of his cl's anyway so worrying about
lot numbers is moot at this point. Your doctor should
refit your son into a new lens for the time being.

I just wonder if this is going to generate a new scare
similar to the renue recall where I saw a number
of patients anxious and scared that they were
going to go blind because they used the product.

My son has had nothing but problems since he has started using 0
Optix.  His eyes have been frequently red, itchy, and generall
irritated.  He has allergies anyway but even with the allerg
medication he takes, which helps with the bumps on back of eye lids
he still has problems with these lens.  I just found out about th
recall when I called his eye Dr's office to renew the prescription.
How can I find out what lot numbers are affected

I got a blast from the OEBB list stating that a recall on CIBAVision's
O2 Optix was imminent.  Anyone got the scoop?
