Renu sux

It was a day of forgotten keys and red eyes. My eyes started tearing after a few hours of wearing contact lens today. Even though my eyes were red yesterday too, I didnt think too much about it as I dismissed it as a case of sensitive eyes and it would probably go away after a while. The weird thing about it was there was gray stuff coming out of my eyes, which at first I assume was just the build-up of protein due to contacts.

When I walked into the house, my mom asked me why my eyes were red. Then she said, "Do you know there's this brand of contact lens solution that is taken off the shelves now and it has been known to give eye infection?" She also mentioned something about it being in the news where many people in Singapore were treated for some sort of serious eye infection and it could even lead to damaged eye corneas in the long run. I asked her which brand it was, thinking maybe it was just some small-fry brand. She said, "Something that starts with a R. Kinda like a four letter word." "RENU?? " I burst out. She replied, "Yea! I think that is it." I started running into my room, all the while praying, please dont let my solution be Renu. Screw it, the words "Bausch and Lomb Renu" stared back at me. I was stunned.

I had used that brand for so long and never expected that all the time, my red eyes could be caused by it. I had taken such care to replace my contacts dutifully, changed my contact lens case, but still.. I felt more gray stuff in my eyes, but thankfully, it stopped after a while. I'm freaked. I'm thinking whether to have my eyes examined. I googled Renu and fuck it, there were people who had to have cornea surgery due to the eye infection. Honestly, I'm scared.

I'm still thinking what to do. For those people using Renu solution, please throw it out. I know, being short-sighted is a pain in the ass... I dont think I will ever buy anything from them again. Screw it.
