The Benz-G 3x Hioxifilcon B lenses were cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on March 7, 1997. Manufactured by Benz Research And Development, they are classified as Class 2 medical devices.
What It Is
These lenses are soft, hydrophilic contact lenses made from Hioxifilcon B, designed to provide vision correction for individuals with refractive errors. They are available in both spherical and toric designs, catering to patients with astigmatism. The lenses can be clear or have a blue tint to aid in handling.
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Correction of myopia (nearsightedness).
- Correction of hyperopia (farsightedness).
- Correction of astigmatism with toric lenses.
Clinical Applications
- Daily-wear vision correction for nearsighted patients.
- Daily-wear vision correction for farsighted patients.
- Vision correction for patients with astigmatism using the toric design.
- Fitting in optometry or ophthalmology practice after assessment of the eye and prescription.
Practical Considerations
- Lenses require professional fitting to select the appropriate base curve, diameter, power and, for toric lenses, astigmatism correction.
- The lenses are available in clear and blue-tinted versions; the tint is intended to aid handling and does not provide vision correction.
- Follow the prescribed wear schedule and use only compatible contact-lens cleaning, disinfecting and storage solutions.
- Do not wear lenses with eye infection, significant eye irritation or other contraindications identified by an eye-care professional.
- Contact lenses are not affected by MRI in the same way as metal implants, but patients should follow the MRI facility's instructions and disclose that they are wearing contact lenses.
