    I read that on CNN.com yesterday. I am so paranoid about my contacts since I wear them everyday. I use the Opti-free express so hopefully I am safe.

    From what they say it's not 100% sure it's caused by the ReNu solutions, but it's scary anyway

    I can't use it because I am allergic to it, or something. It leaves my eyes bloodshot for hours and leaves bright red trails down my face and around my eyes where it touched my skin
