Intended Use

The spherical lens is intended to be used in the correction of visual acuity in eyes that are myopic or hyperopic. Bifocal and trifocal designs are available for the correction of visual acuity in eyes that are also presbyopic.

Device Story

Rigid gas permeable contact lenses composed of fluoro-silicate-acrylic copolymers with an added UV-absorbing compound (Cyasorb UV-416). Lenses function as a refractive medium when placed on the cornea to focus light onto the retina. Designed for daily wear to correct visual acuity in myopic, hyperopic, or presbyopic patients. Prescribed by eye care professionals. UV blocker provides protection by reducing light transmission in the 250-350nm range to 0.0%.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence established via bench testing and material characterization.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Fluoro-silicate-acrylic-copolymers with Cyasorb UV-416. Standards: ANZI/ASTM D542-20 (refractive index), ANZI Z80.6 (water content), ANZI/ASTM 280.6.4.5 (light transmission). Properties: Dk 29.3-70.0, Shore D hardness 85.5-87.0, water content <1.0%.

Indications for Use

Indicated for daily wear in non-aphakic, non-diseased eyes. Spherical lenses: myopic, hyperopic, or astigmatic (≤1.50 D). Bifocal/trifocal lenses: presbyopic, myopic, or hyperopic with astigmatism (≤3.50 D).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A rigid gas permeable contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea of the eye to correct vision conditions. The device is made of various materials, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, polyacrylate-silicone, or silicone elastomers, whose main polymer molecules generally do not absorb or attract water.
