A contact lens solution is being recalled in the UK because of concerns that it could cause eye infections.
Complete Moisture Plus was pulled from sale in the US six days ago following a warning from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
US government officials linked the solution to acanthamoeba keratitis (AK), a painful eye infection.
Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) which makes the solution, has issued the recall as a "precautionary measure".
AMO said in a statement: "The recall is being initiated because of concerns over eye infections from acanthamoeba, a naturally occurring water-borne organism which can contribute to serious corneal infections."
The recall is not related to contamination and no other AMO products are affected, the firm added.
The company is asking contact lens wearers who begin suffering eye pain, redness, blurred vision or sensitivity to light to seek medical attention.
There are reports of 138 cases of eye infections in the US which are being investigated.
But AMO said it had not received any reports of UK users suffering eye problems.
Those who swim or shower while wearing contact lenses, use tap water to clean their lenses or come into contact with contaminated water are most are most prone to getting AK, the company said.
The eye infection can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness in rare cases.
