Intended Use
The CIBA Vision® (lotrafilcon B) spherical soft contact lens is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes and with up to approximately 1.50 diopters of astigmatism that does not interfere with visual acuity. The CIBA Vision® Toric (lotrafilcon B) soft contact lens is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with 10.00 diopters (D) or less of astigmatism. The CIBA Vision® Progressives (lotrafilcon B) soft contact lens is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) and/or presbyopia in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes who may require a reading addition of +3.00 diopters (D) or less and who may have up to approximately 1.50 diopters of astigmatism. The CIBA Vision® Progressive Toric (lotrafilcon B) soft contact lens is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia) in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. The lenses may be worn by persons who have 10.00 diopters (D) or less of refractive and/or corneal astigmatism. The lenses may be prescribed for daily wear with removal for cleaning and disinfection (chemical, not heat) prior to reinsertion, as recommended by the eye care professional.
Device Story
Fluoro-silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses; 33% water content; surface-treated. Available in spherical, toric, multifocal, and toric multifocal designs. Contains copper phthalocyanine handling tint. Supplied sterile in blister packs with isotonic phosphate buffered saline. Prescribed by eye care professionals for daily wear; patient removes for chemical cleaning/disinfection. Provides refractive correction for ametropia and presbyopia. Benefits include improved visual acuity and comfort.
Clinical Evidence
Two-month prospective daily wear clinical study compared the modified lotrafilcon B lens to an FDA-approved control lens. Evaluated performance in vision, ocular health, comfort, and fit. Results demonstrated similar overall performance to the control lens.
Technological Characteristics
Material: 33% water, 67% lotrafilcon B (fluoro-silicone hydrogel). Surface-treated. Oxygen permeability: 110 x 10^-11 (cm²/sec)(ml O2/ml*mmHg) at 35°C. Refractive index: 1.42 (hydrated). Light transmittance: >96%. Sterilization: Steam sterilization. Packaging: Blister packs with isotonic phosphate buffered saline.
Indications for Use
Indicated for optical correction of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Specific astigmatism limits apply based on lens type (up to 1.50D or 10.00D).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. The device is made of various polymer materials the main polymer molecules of which absorb or attract a certain volume (percentage) of water.
