As part of its "Rejuvenate Your Game" summer campaign, Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., (AMO) today announced its partnership with beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May to help educate active people how best to care for their eyes and contact lenses.

"For me, eye care is a key part of my fitness routine and my day-to-day life," said May. "I had trouble wearing my contact lenses because of the dirt, dust and other elements that irritated my eyes during the day. COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) Multi-Purpose Solution keeps my contact lenses clear and comfortable. Now, I forget I am even wearing them and it helps me stay on top of my game."

May shares more tips about eye care on the newly launched COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) MPS website http://www.completemoistureplus.com, featuring the champion's health and beauty tips, professional eye care safety tips, and more on how to properly wear and care for contact lenses, especially for the active lifestyle wearer. The site also features a "Tell Us Your Story" sweepstakes -- in which users can explain how COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) MPS has made a difference in their lives.

"We are thrilled to have Misty May on the COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) MPS team," said Jeff Martin, regional marketing manager at Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. "In so many ways, she exemplifies today's contact lens wearer. Not all of us are gold medalists, but many of us lead an active lifestyle, working hard and playing hard, and we all expect a healthy and comfortable lens wearing experience."

It is estimated that 36 million people in the United States are wearing contact lenses. But between 2.2 and 2.8 million users stop wearing their lenses every year. For many, it is because their contact lenses are not comfortable. The unique ingredients in COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) MPS help contact lens wearers feel more comfortable while wearing their lenses.

It is the first and only multi-purpose solution that contains two FDA-recognized tear-like moisturizers, four beneficial electrolytes and taurine that provide unsurpassed all-day comfort. COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) MPS is the ideal solution for increased moisture, longer-lasting comfort, healthy lens wear, and effective disinfection. However, regardless of which cleaning/disinfecting solution consumers use, the American Optometric Association (AOA) advises all contact lens wearers to follow proper hygiene habits. According to the AOA, clean and safe handling of contact lenses is one of the most important measures a contact lens wearer can take to protect his or her sight. Users should consult their eye care professional regarding all aspects of their eye care. For more information, please visit http://www.completemoistureplus.com.

Note: Ten winners of the "Tell Us Your Story" sweepstakes will win a year's supply of COMPLETE MoisturePLUS(R) MPS 12-ounce (equivalent to 12 bottles).
