The Lifestyle Multivue-S Polymacon contact lens was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on September 8, 1994. Manufactured by Permeable Technologies, it is classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
The Lifestyle Multivue-S Polymacon is a soft contact lens made from hydrophilic material, designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia. The polymacon material allows for high water content, enhancing comfort and oxygen permeability for the wearer. This lens is part of a broader category of vision correction devices that provide an alternative to glasses.
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Daily-wear vision correction for refractive errors.
- Use as a soft hydrophilic contact lens in patients who need an alternative to eyeglasses.
Clinical Applications
- Correction of myopia (nearsightedness).
- Correction of hyperopia (farsightedness).
- Daily-wear contact lens use after fitting by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.
- Vision correction for patients who prefer contact lenses instead of eyeglasses.
Practical Considerations
- The lens must be fitted and prescribed by an eye-care professional to match the patient's corneal curvature and vision prescription.
- Available lens parameters and sizes should be selected based on the patient's refractive error, corneal shape and clinical examination.
- Use only the cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and storage solution recommended by the eye-care professional or lens labeling; do not use tap water.
- Patients should follow the prescribed wearing schedule and remove the lenses if pain, redness, discharge or reduced vision develops.
- This is a non-implantable ocular device and has no MRI-related restriction; MRI safety does not replace routine contact-lens precautions.
