The Cibasoft Progressive Toric Tefilcon Lens was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on December 10, 2002. Manufactured by Ciba Vision, it is a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
This device is a soft hydrophilic contact lens made from tefilcon, designed for daily wear. It combines toric and progressive lens features to correct both astigmatism and presbyopia. The lens material allows for high oxygen permeability, enhancing comfort for the wearer. It is intended to provide clear vision at all distances for patients with specific refractive errors.
Clinical Applications
These lenses are commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology practices for patients with astigmatism and presbyopia. They are suitable for adults who require vision correction for both near and distance vision, often in outpatient settings. The lenses are particularly beneficial for patients who prefer contact lenses over glasses for aesthetic or lifestyle reasons.
Indications for Use
The lens is indicated for patients with astigmatism and presbyopia, conditions that affect the ability to focus on objects at various distances. It is designed to provide clear vision correction for these refractive errors.
Practical Considerations
These lenses are typically available in a range of sizes and prescriptions to fit different eye shapes and refractive needs. Proper fitting by an eye care professional is essential to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Patients should be advised on proper lens care and handling techniques to maintain eye health.
