Daily Wear Soft Contact Lens To Reduce The Progression Of Myopia

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Intended to be worn on the surface of the eye in children who have myopia to: • Reduce the rate of progression of myopia, and • Optically correct myopic refractive error.
Physical State
A daily wear soft contact lens to reduce the progression of myopia has a similar appearance and construction to any soft contact lens. It is a device made of a polymer.
Technical Method
A daily wear soft contact lens to reduce the progression of myopia is one that uses an optical design in which part of the optical zone focuses light from distant objects on the retina, and other parts of the optical zone focus light in front of the retina. This is believed to provide a stimulus to slow the axial growth of the eye and to slow the progression of myopia.
Target Area
Like all soft contact lenses, the lens sits on the cornea and surrounding bulbar conjunctiva.

No Linked CFR Text

The FDA has not linked product code QIT to any particular section of the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). There are multiple reasons why this might be the case:

  • The product code was created for a class III submission that does not follow the normal PMN or PMA path - e.g., for a device that falls under HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption) or EUA (Emergency Use Authorization).
  • The FDA has generated the product code for an existing Class III device, as a result of a PMA supplement that modifies the device in a way that it can't fit under the existing product code originally assigned
  • The product code was created for internal use at the FDA, and not for classification or regulatory-related purposes.
