The saview-aqua 58 UV contact lens by St. Shine Optical was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on August 30, 2013. It is a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
The saview-aqua 58 UV etafilcon a contact lens is a soft, hydrophilic lens with UV-blocking properties. Made from etafilcon a, it is designed to fit comfortably on the eye while providing protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. The lens is visibility tinted to aid in handling and is available in toric designs for patients with astigmatism.
Clinical Applications
These lenses are commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology settings to protect patients' eyes from UV radiation, which can contribute to conditions like cataracts and pterygium. They are particularly useful for patients who spend significant time outdoors or in environments with high UV exposure. The lenses can be prescribed for daily wear by patients with refractive errors, including those with astigmatism.
Indications for Use
The FDA indications suggest that these lenses are intended for vision correction while providing additional UV protection. They are suitable for patients needing refractive correction and seeking to minimize UV exposure to the eyes.
Practical Considerations
These lenses are typically available in a range of prescriptions to accommodate different refractive errors. They are designed for daily wear and should be replaced according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Proper handling and cleaning techniques are essential to maintain lens integrity and ocular health.
Related Literature
The linked study investigated the UV radiation protection factors of hydrogel and silicone hydrogel contact lenses. It highlighted that UV-blocking lenses can protect the anterior ocular tissues, particularly in the limbal region, from UV-induced damage. The study emphasized the importance of lens thickness in determining UV protection efficacy but did not address long-term clinical outcomes.
