According to CNN.com

"We feel pretty confident that the outbreak is over," said CDC researcher Benjamin Park, who has studied the outbreak since the first reports of the infection in the United States in early March.

As of June 30, the researchers had identified 164 confirmed cases of patients infected with the fungal infection fusarium keratitis. Of those, 94 percent, or 154 patients wore soft contact lenses.
