that she had to have an eye removed because contact lenses sold by Hubble Contacts were defective.
"Hubble contact lenses were unsafe, defective, and inherently dangerous in that the contact lenses were subject to a high rate of eye infections and corneal damage during normal and customary use," the complaint alleges. She was later diagnosed with a corneal ulcer of the left eye, according to court documents. But Guarisco's eye issues worsened, and she was forced to visit the ER for allergy-like symptoms in her right eye, including"discharge, redness, itching and visual disturbances," the lawsuit states. After being diagnosed with corneal ulcer of the right eye, she reported decreased vision in her right eye.
While Hubble's contact lenses are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, methafilcon A is an inferior material"no longer prescribed for contact lenses in the United States," according to the lawsuit.
