Decision Date October 26, 2012
Product Code LPL
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The savie-aqua 55uv methafilcon a was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) pathway on October 26, 2012. It is manufactured by St. Shine Optical and classified as a Class 2 medical device.

What It Is

The savie-aqua 55uv methafilcon a is a soft hydrophilic contact lens designed for vision correction. It features a tinted blue color for ease of handling and is made from methafilcon A material.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in scenarios requiring vision correction, such as myopia or hyperopia. It is also explored for its potential in delivering medications directly to the eye.

Evidence Summary

The literature includes 10 studies ranging from 2015 to 2023, encompassing randomized controlled trials and other study designs. These studies explore various aspects of contact lens use, including ocular health and drug delivery.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the savie-aqua 55uv methafilcon a contact lens can affect ocular surface health, potentially leading to contact lens-induced dry eye. It has also been shown to facilitate sustained drug delivery in experimental settings.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include changes in ocular surface parameters such as central corneal thickness and tear osmolarity. Some studies noted the potential for biofilm formation, which could inhibit drug diffusion.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the small sample sizes and the use of non-human primate models in some studies. Further research is needed to confirm findings in human populations and to explore long-term safety and efficacy.
