FDA Clearance Information

Pathway PMA
Decision Date May 26, 1989
Product Code LPL
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Tresoft Ocufilcon Soft Hydrophilic Contact Lens was cleared through the FDA's premarket approval pathway on May 26, 1989. Manufactured by United Contact Lens, it is classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The Tresoft Ocufilcon Soft Hydrophilic Contact Lens is a type of contact lens made from ocufilcon, a hydrophilic material that retains moisture. This lens is designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia by providing a clear optical surface on the cornea. Its soft and flexible nature allows for comfortable wear over extended periods.

Clinical Applications

These contact lenses are commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology practices for patients who prefer contact lenses over glasses for vision correction. They are suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with active lifestyles or those who require lenses for cosmetic reasons. The lenses are typically fitted in outpatient settings and require regular follow-up for optimal eye health.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications for this device include the correction of refractive errors such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. Patients who require vision correction but prefer not to wear glasses are ideal candidates for these lenses.

Practical Considerations

These lenses come in various sizes and prescriptions to fit different corneal shapes and refractive needs. Proper fitting and regular eye exams are essential to ensure compatibility and prevent complications such as infections or discomfort.
