The apioc efrofilcon a contact lenses were cleared via the FDA 510k pathway on September 6, 2019. Manufactured by Lentechs, they are classified as Class 2 medical devices.
What It Is
The apioc efrofilcon a lenses are advanced contact lenses made from a silicone hydrogel material, which allows for high oxygen permeability. This makes them comfortable for extended wear. They are designed to correct refractive errors such as presbyopia and astigmatism, providing clear vision for patients with these conditions.
Clinical Applications
These lenses are commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology settings, particularly for patients who require correction for presbyopia or astigmatism. They are suitable for adults who prefer contact lenses over glasses for vision correction. Eye care specialists may prescribe these lenses during routine eye exams or when patients report difficulties with near or distance vision.
Indications for Use
The lenses are indicated for patients with presbyopia, a condition where the eye gradually loses the ability to focus on nearby objects, and for astigmatism, which causes blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
Practical Considerations
These lenses are available in various sizes to fit different eye shapes and prescriptions. They are compatible with standard contact lens care solutions. Proper fitting by an eye care professional is essential to ensure comfort and optimal vision correction.
Related Literature
The linked study focused on evaluating the acceptance of toric soft contact lenses in patients with low astigmatism. It compared custom toric lenses to spherical off-the-shelf lenses, assessing both objective and subjective visual performance. The study found that custom toric lenses provided better visual outcomes for these patients. However, the study was limited by its focus on a specific population and did not address long-term outcomes.
