Intended Use
The OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC (ocufilcon B) Spherical Soft Contact Lens are indicated for daily wear for the correction of hyperopia in pediatric aphakic persons. The lens may be disinfected with chemical (not heat) disinfection system.
Device Story
The OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC is a lathe-cut, spherical soft contact lens fabricated from ocufilcon B (a copolymer of 2-HEMA and methacrylic acid cross-linked with EGDMA). In its hydrated state (53% water), the lens is soft, pliable, and conforms to the corneal curvature. It is designed specifically for pediatric patients, featuring a smaller lens diameter and higher power range (+10.00 to +40.00 diopters) to address the refractive needs of pediatric aphakia. The device is intended for daily wear and requires chemical disinfection. It is prescribed by eye care professionals to correct hyperopia, providing a transparent optical surface that benefits the patient by restoring visual acuity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Pre-clinical performance data for ocufilcon B (cytotoxicity, systemic injection, ocular irritation) was referenced from PMA P820051. Data for the visibility tint (Reactive Blue 21) was referenced from K960291.
Technological Characteristics
Material: ocufilcon B (47% polymer, 53% water). Copolymer of 2-HEMA and methacrylic acid cross-linked with EGDMA. Refractive index: 1.41. Oxygen permeability (Dk/t): 18.1 x 10^-11. Specific gravity: 1.18. Light transmission: >95%. Form factor: Lathe-cut spherical soft contact lens. Available in clear or blue visibility tint (Reactive Blue 21). Disinfection: Chemical only (no heat).
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear for the correction of hyperopia in pediatric aphakic persons.
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.

## Purpose of 510(k) submission:
## NEW DEVICE ~
Ocu-Ease Optical Products, Inc. proposes to manufacture the OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC, (ocufilcon B) Spherical Soft Contact Lens for Daily Wear (lathe-cut). Data supporting substantial equivalency to the predicate devices, performance, and safety and efficacy of the OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC, (ocufilcon B) Soft Contact Lens for Daily Wear (lathe-cut) is contained in this submission.
## Equivalent Device:
The OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC (ocufilcon B) Soft Contact Lens for Daily Wear (lathecut) is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices.
- Pediatric/Aphakic lens (methafilcon A) manufactured by Flexlens Products (K950294) .
## Device Description:
The OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC (ocufilcon B) Soft Contact Lens for Daily Wear (lathecut) is fabricated from ocufilcon B which in the dry (unhydrated) state may be machined and polished. The hydrophilic nature of this material allows the lens to become soft and pliable when immersed in an aqueous solution.
The aphakic lens designs are made for daily wear for the correction of refractive hyperopia in pediatric aphakic persons. The design elements of the OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC (ocufileon B) Soft Contact Lens for Daily Wear (lathe-cut) is intended to accommodate pediatric patients. The lens design has a higher power range and smaller lens to compensate for the increased power.
In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a colorless, transparent optical surface. The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard appear somewhat warped however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.
{2}------------------------------------------------
The non-ionic lens material, ocufilcon B, is a copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) methacrylic acid and cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). It consists of 47% ocufilcon B and 53% water by weight when immersed in normal saline solution buffered with sodium bicarbonate. The lenses are available in clear and with a blue visibility-handling tint, Reactive Blue 21.
The hydrophilic characteristics allow aqueous solutions to enter the lens and in its fully hydrated state the lens is approximately 53% water by weight. The physical properties of the lens are:
| Refractive Index | 1.41 |
|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Light Transmission (clear) | greater than 95% T |
| Light Transmission (tinted) | greater than 95% T |
| Water Content | 53 % |
| Specific Gravity | 1.18 |
| Oxygen Permeability | 18.1 X 10-11 (cm2/sec) (ml O2/ml x mm Hg @ 35°C), (revised Fatt method). |

## Intended Use:
The OCU-FLEX PEDIATRIC APHAKIC (ocufilcon B) Spherical Soft Contact Lens are indicated for daily wear for the correction of hyperopia in pediatric aphakic persons.
The lens may be disinfected with chemical (not heat) disinfection system.
## Pre-Clinical Performance Data:
## ocufilcon B
Pre-clinical performance data addressing the cytotoxicity test, systemic injection test, and ocular eye irritation test for can be referenced for the ocufilcon B in PMA # P820051. Pre-clinical data addressing Reactive Blue 21 can be referenced in Ocu-Ease Optical Products, Inc. 510(k) K960291.
## Substantial Equivalence:
The device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a quality assurance program already in place at Ocu-Ease Optical Products, Inc.
