Bausch & Lomb recall

Postby Green » Fri 04 Jun 2021 8:30 pm

I've received emails from Amazon to say that Bausch & Lomb and Boston Advance products are being recalled, I have £200 worth, what are we supposed to do, what do we get and where?

Have they given a reason for the recall and potentially a point of contact?

I didn't only order from amazon, and I don't details of all orders, I don't have all the boxes, I can't see all the Lot numbers on bottles.
What are we supposed to use?

I'm feeling quite panicked

I came across total care it has cleaner and solution like Boston

Blink Total Care Disinfecting, Storing, Wetting Solution Twin-Pack and Daily Cleaner from AMO (replaces TotalCare) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0041M8P6Y/ ... 2AQYG71HAY

There is also Quattro, but this is an all in one solution. I used to use this before Boston

Quattro Multifunctional Contact lens solution 3 Month Pack https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004AFBON8/ ... YD5TA5CSX8

I’m going to give Total Care a try as I noticed using the cleaner makes a huge difference in clearer vision

Any suggestions for saline? I used the Bausch & Lomb sensitive eyes mostly because supermarket brands can have such rigid plastic it irritates my tendinitis, and the stream often goes off at an angle, also it was easier to see wider nozzle
