The Glitter Eyes Tefilcon contact lens was cleared via the FDA 510k pathway on December 13, 2000. Manufactured by Ciba Vision, it is classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
The Glitter Eyes Tefilcon lens is a soft hydrophilic contact lens made from a water-absorbing polymer, designed for daily wear. It corrects refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia by altering the path of light entering the eye. Its hydrophilic nature ensures comfort and oxygen permeability, which is crucial for maintaining corneal health during wear.
Clinical Applications
These lenses are commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology clinics for patients requiring vision correction due to refractive errors. They are suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with mild to moderate myopia or hyperopia. The lenses are typically fitted and prescribed in outpatient settings, and are ideal for patients seeking an alternative to glasses.
Indications for Use
The FDA indications suggest that these lenses are intended for patients with refractive errors who prefer contact lenses over glasses. They are suitable for daily wear, meaning they should be removed before sleeping.
Practical Considerations
These lenses are available in various sizes and prescriptions to accommodate different patient needs. Proper fitting by a qualified eye care professional is essential to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Patients should be instructed on proper lens care and hygiene to prevent infections.
