Eye was burned. When staying with a family member i borrowed their contact solution. It was night and i noticed the bottle had a red top but i just assumed it was generic brand. I put the solution in my case and took out my contact. The following morning i put the contact in my eye and experienced severe pain. The pain was so severe i couldn? T open my eye to take out the contact. I realized that i had used clear care solution plus solutions instead of regular saline and had burned my eye. The eye was extremely red with constant watering. I used refreshed pm ointment to ease the pain but at day 3 it is still very red although the pain has improved. I am a pharmacist by training and the notations on this bottle are clearly not a sufficient warning. The red top and band just seems like bottle branding perhaps for generic. I would strongly encourage the fda to reconsider and have any manufactures of such cleaning solutions to require and entirely different shaped bottle, a large warning on both sides of the bottle and most importantly a child restraint top which would make the user realize it is not saline. I have read many reports of his happening online and also spoke to multiple friends who experienced the same thing but never reported to the fda. I am certain that the incidence of the occurring is much greater than reported. Additionally, not only does this result in significant pain, burning and inflammation but it can also cause more significant damage. Thought it was saline solution.
