Soflex

Summary: The eni-eye sh soft k is a semi-scleral soft contact lens designed for patients with keratoconus and irregular corneas. It is primarily used by optometrists and ophthalmologists to improve vision in these patients.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date March 19, 2013
Product Code LPL
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The eni-eye sh soft k, manufactured by Soflex, received FDA clearance through the 510(k) pathway on March 19, 2013. It is classified as a Class 2 medical device under product code LPL.

What It Is

The eni-eye sh soft k is a semi-scleral, hydrophilic contact lens made from efrofilcon A. It is specifically designed to fit irregular corneal surfaces, such as those found in keratoconus patients. The lens provides a larger diameter than standard soft lenses, offering improved stability and comfort by vaulting over the cornea and resting on the sclera.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology practices for patients with keratoconus or other corneal irregularities. It is particularly beneficial in cases where traditional contact lenses are ineffective or uncomfortable. The lens is fitted in a clinical setting, often requiring specialized training to ensure proper fit and patient comfort.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications for the eni-eye sh soft k include its use in patients with keratoconus and irregular corneas. This means it is intended for individuals whose corneal shape prevents them from achieving clear vision with standard contact lenses.

Practical Considerations

When fitting the eni-eye sh soft k, clinicians should consider the lens's larger diameter and its semi-scleral design, which requires careful assessment of the corneal and scleral topography. Compatibility with the patient's ocular surface and tear film stability is crucial for optimal performance.
