The Biomedics UV Asphere Contact Lens was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on February 28, 2002. Manufactured by Cl Mcintosh, it is classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
The Biomedics UV Asphere is a soft hydrophilic contact lens made from ocufilcon D material. It is designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia while providing UV protection. The aspheric design helps improve visual acuity by reducing spherical aberrations, offering a clearer vision compared to traditional spherical lenses.
Clinical Applications
This contact lens is commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology settings for patients who need vision correction. It is suitable for daily wear and is often prescribed for individuals with active lifestyles who benefit from the added UV protection. The lens is particularly useful for patients who experience visual distortions with standard lenses due to its aspheric design.
Indications for Use
The Biomedics UV Asphere Contact Lens is indicated for patients needing correction of common refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is also beneficial for those who require additional protection from UV rays.
Practical Considerations
The lens is available in various sizes to fit different corneal curvatures and prescriptions. It is compatible with most standard contact lens solutions. Clinicians should ensure proper fitting and educate patients on correct usage and maintenance to prevent complications.
