They just had a commercial with one of their big wigs explaining the recall of their solution that may be causing problems, thanking us for understanding, and what measures to take to take care of our eyes. Good to see a big corp. doing the right thing even if there is alterior motivations the up front image is a breath of fresh air.

I'm glad I switched to OptiFree a few years ago.

Up until now, it doesn't sound like they weren't handling it very well. It looks like they were nudged into action.

They stopped selling the stuff in Asia months ago, but didn't take the same step in other markets (including the US) until this week...

I actually thought about buying it a few months ago when it happened to be on price discount. But, I've always used Alcon, since my eyes couldn't tolerate the Bausch and Lomb solution...

Kodos was traded to Bausch & Lomb? What did Kang get back? Hopefully at least a 1st rounder.

It's been off the market here for at least a month.

I've also gotten an email from them as well.
