Intended Use

The C-Vue33 Toric Multifocal Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia), presbyopia and astigmatism up to 4.00 diopters in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Eyecare practitioners may prescribe the lens for daily wear in a Planned Replacement Program. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system.

Device Story

Soft hydrophilic contact lens; front surface asphere design; multiple aspheric zones; eccentric lenticulation for ballast/axis stabilization; toroidal posterior optic zone; flattened peripheral curve. Material: methafilcon A (copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid, crosslinked with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate). Prescribed by eyecare practitioners for daily wear in planned replacement programs. Corrects refractive errors; improves vision in presbyopic and astigmatic patients. Patient self-use for daily vision correction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on material chemistry, physical construction, and established safety profile of the methafilcon A material.

Technological Characteristics

Material: methafilcon A (HEMA/methacrylic acid copolymer crosslinked with EGDMA). Water content: 55%. Refractive index: 1.415. Oxygen transmissibility: 18.83 x 10^-11 (cm2/sec)(ml O2/ml x mm Hg). Design: front surface asphere, toroidal posterior optic, eccentric lenticulation. Dimensions: 14.0-15.0mm diameter, 8.4-9.3mm base curve. Powers: -20.00 to +20.00D. Chemical disinfection compatible.

Indications for Use

Indicated for daily wear correction of myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism (up to 4.00D) in aphakic or non-aphakic patients with non-diseased eyes.

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.

Predicate device: LifeStyle MV2™ Toric (polymacon) Soft (hydrophilic) Multifocal Contact Lens #### Device description The C-Vue's Tonc (methafilcon A) Soft (hydrophilic) Multifocal Contact Lens is a front surface asphere consisting of multiple aspheric zones with an eccentric lenticulation for ballast and axis stabilization. The base curve has a toroidal posterior optic zone and a flattened peripheral curve which approximates the curvature of the sclera. The most plus power is in the center of the lens, with the power progressively becoming more minus towards the periphery. The lens material, (methafilcon A), is a copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid, crosslinked with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate. The C-Vue35 Toric Multifocal Contact Lens is a hemispherical shell of the following dimensions: | Chord diameters | 14.0 to 15.0mm | |------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Center thickness | 0.10 to 0.60mm; varies with power | | Base curves | 8.4 to 9.3mm | | Powers | -20.00 to +20.00 diopters | | Add powers | Up to +3.00 diopters | | Cylinder | Up to 4.00 diopters | | Axis | 1° to 180° in 1° steps | | Optical zone diameters | 5.0 to 10.0mm | {1}------------------------------------------------ The physical/optical properties of the lens are: | specific gravity | 1.09 | |--------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | refractive index (wet) | 1.415 | | light transmittance (clear and tint) | greater than 90% in the visible light region | | water content | 55% | | oxygen transmissibility | $18.83 \times 10^{-11}$ (cm²/sec)(ml O2/ml x mm Hg)* | * as measured by Schema Versatae Model 920 connected to a polargraphic cell ### Intended use The C-Vue33 Toric Multifocal Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia), presbyopia and astigmatism up to 4.00 diopters in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Eyecare practitioners may prescribe the lens for daily wear in a Planned Replacement Program. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system. # Substantial equivalence The new device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a quality management system currently in place. The device will undergo manufacturing, packaging and sterilization procedures similar to devices currently manufactured, marketed and distributed by Unilens Corp., USA. The established safety profile (pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing/chemistry data) of the device is equivalent to the BENZ-MF (methafilcon A), 510(k) K003861. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials, physical construction and safety and effectiveness to the predicate device, this meets the requirements per section 510(k) of the act regarding substantial equivalence and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device identified above. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
