The officials of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are warning people to throw away a contact lens solution which may be responsible for a rare eye infection. According to CDC, AMO Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution, used for cleaning and storing soft contact lenses, seems to be a factor case of Acanthamoeba keratitis, a painful infection that can lead to blindness.

Advanced Medical Optics Inc, the maker of the solution issued a statement Friday night saying it was "immediately and voluntarily recalling" the solution.

"There is no evidence to suggest that today's voluntary recall is related to a product contamination issue and this does not impact any of AMO's other contact lens care products," the statement said.

CDC officials said people should discard the solution, throw out their current contact lenses and toss the lens storage case. All of them may harbor the infecting amoeba, said Michael Beach, team leader in the CDC's division of parasitic diseases.
