FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date May 30, 2013
Product Code LPL
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Proclear Omafilcon A Soft Hydrophilic Contact Lens was cleared by the FDA via the 510k pathway on May 30, 2013. It is manufactured by Coopervision and classified as a Class 2 medical device.

What It Is

The Proclear Omafilcon A is a soft hydrophilic contact lens designed for vision correction. It is intended for daily wear and is made from omafilcon A material, which provides comfort and moisture retention.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical scenarios for correcting refractive errors such as myopia. It is also utilized in myopia control strategies, particularly in pediatric populations.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 9 studies, comprising randomized clinical trials and prospective studies, conducted between 2021 and 2025. These studies focus on the efficacy and safety of the lens in myopia control.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the Proclear Omafilcon A lens is effective in controlling myopia progression and maintaining eye growth at age-normal levels post-treatment. The lens design impacts accommodative microfluctuations and eye movements during reading.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include general ocular health concerns over long-term use, but studies indicate that the lens is safe for daily wear in children over extended periods. No significant adverse events were noted in the reviewed studies.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the relatively small sample sizes and the short duration of some studies. Further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and the impact of different lens designs on myopia control.
