Intended Use
The OPTIMUM GP (roflufocon A, roflufocon B, roflufocon D, and roflufocon D, and roflufocon E) Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia. The lens may be disinfected with a chemical disinfection system only. Eyecare practitioners may prescribe the lenses for frequent/planned replacement wear, with cleaning, disioner on and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement wear, the lens may be cleaned and disinfected using a chemical (not heat) lens care system.
Device Story
OPTIMUM GP contact lenses are lathe-cut rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses fabricated from roflufocon (A-E) methacrylate copolymers. Lenses act as a refractive medium to focus light on the retina. Available in spherical, aspheric, bifocal, multifocal, or toric designs; may include visibility tints or Benzophenone UV blockers. Lenses are non-sterile, intended for daily wear, and require chemical disinfection. Eyecare practitioners prescribe lenses for vision correction; patients handle lenses for daily insertion/removal. Plasma surface treatment is applied to reduce contact wetting angles, improving lens surface characteristics. Clinical benefit is the correction of refractive errors in aphakic and non-aphakic patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, specifically measurements of contact angle reduction following plasma surface treatment.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: roflufocon A, B, C, D, E (methacrylate copolymers). Design: Lathe-cut, spherical/aspheric/bifocal/multifocal/toric. Surface: Plasma treated, hydrophobic base. UV blocker: 2,2-Dihydroxy-4,4 dimethoxybenzophenone. FDA Group #3 (Fluoro Silicone Acrylate). Water content: <1%.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear for correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes with myopia or hyperopia. Contraindicated for heat disinfection.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A rigid gas permeable contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea of the eye to correct vision conditions. The device is made of various materials, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, polyacrylate-silicone, or silicone elastomers, whose main polymer molecules generally do not absorb or attract water.

#### Device Description:
The OPTIMUM GP series of contact lenses are fabricated from the hydrophobic contact lens materials (roflufocon A), (roflufocon B), (roflufocon C), (roflufocon D), & (roflufocon E). When placed on the (fuman cornea, the OPTIMUM GP rigid gas permeable contact lenses act as a refracting medium to focus light rays upon the retina.
OPTIMUM GP Contact Lens for Daily Wear is available with a plasma surface treatment. Lenses are packaged non-sterile and shipped in one of the following GP solutions.
| Solution | Manufacturer |
|----------------|--------------------|
| Boston Simplus | Bausch & Lomb |
| Unique Ph | Alcon |
| Optimum CDS | Lobob Laboratories |
The OPTIMUM GP Contact Lens for Daily Wear are available as lathe cut contact lenses with spherical, aspheric, bifocal, multifocal or toric anterior and/or posterior designs in clear and tinted versions.
The OPTIMUM GP Contact Lens for Daily Wear is a rigid gas permeable methacrylate copolymer of Methyl methacrylate, 1,1,1,3,3,3 - Hexafluoroisopropyl Methacrylate, Methacryloxypropyl Tris(trimethylsiloxy) silane, 1,3-bis(methacryloxypropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetrakis(trimethyl siloxy)disiloxane, 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, and Methacrylic acrylic acid cross-linked with Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate.
The OPTIMUM GP Contact Lens for Daily Wear incorporates a visibility tint to make the lens more visible for handling. The tinted lenses contain one or more of the following color additives: D&C Green No.6, C.I. Solvent yellow No. 18, and FD&C Red No. 17.
#### UV Blocker
In the OPTIMUM GP Contact Lens with UV Blocker, a Benzophenone UV blocker is used to block UV radiation. The UV Blocker is 2,2 -Dihydroxy-4,4 dimethoxybenzophenone. The UV blocking for OPTIMUM GP averages > 98% in the UVB range of 280mm - 315nm and 95% in the UVA range of 316 -380mm.
