vistakon lenefilcon a soft hydrophilic contact lens clear and visibility tinted with uv blocker

Johnson & Johnson Vision Care

Summary: The Vistakon Lenefilcon A is a soft hydrophilic contact lens with UV blocker, primarily used for correcting refractive ametropia. Key evidence includes studies on myopia control and lens fitting stability.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway PMA
Decision Date February 16, 2001
Product Code LPM
Device Class Class 3
Evidence 419 studies

The Vistakon Lenefilcon A contact lens was cleared by the FDA via the PMA pathway on February 16, 2001. It is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care and classified as a Class 3 device.

What It Is

The Vistakon Lenefilcon A is a soft hydrophilic contact lens designed for daily and extended wear. It is used to correct refractive ametropia, including myopia and hyperopia, and features a UV blocker for added protection.

Clinical Applications

Commonly used in patients with non-diseased eyes for correcting myopia and hyperopia. It is also suitable for individuals with mild astigmatism and can be used in aphakic patients for daily wear.

Evidence Summary

The literature includes 10 studies, primarily randomized clinical trials, published between 2009 and 2016. These studies explore aspects such as myopia control, lens fitting stability, and visual acuity.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report minimal reductions in myopia progression with bifocal lenses, with some effects noted in children with nearpoint esophoria. Other studies focus on lens orientation and visual acuity differences with tinted lenses.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include minimal adverse effects related to lens fitting and visual acuity. No significant safety concerns were highlighted in the reviewed studies.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the small sample sizes and short duration of some studies. Further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and safety in diverse populations.
