Now that the findings from the preliminary analysis have been publicized and AMOCMP has been voluntarily recalled, why is CDC continuing to investigate?
The investigation is far from over. Continuing the investigation will allow us to better define the scope of the outbreak, provide a more definitive assessment of the risks associated with use of contact lenses or lens-care products, possibly identify other risk factors, and allow CDC and its partners to develop and refine evidence-based recommendations to prevent further eye infections with Acanthamoeba.
