Lucky for ReNu users, a team of Singapore healthcare professionals were the first to alert the world on a link between a ReNu contact lens solution and a global spike in fungal corneal infections, according to the Singapore News.

In singapore, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan said: "Certainly when you decide to do something like this, you're taking on a very big multi-national corporation and as I said, they're armed with teams of (scientists and) lawyers. And if the advisory was pre-mature or without basis, or could not be proven, I'm quite sure there'll be a legal suit on our table.

"But more than legal suits, it's also our own reputation. In this instance, the reputation of SNEC and of course Ministry of Health and Singapore. So I'm quite glad. More importantly it ended up well."

All ReNu users owe thanks to these courageous doctors for stepping forward and alerting the world of this public health risk.
