Bausch + Lomb nesofilcon A contact lens is indicated for the daily wear correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) in aphakic and/or non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that exhibit refractive astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters or less, that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens is to be prescribed in spherical powers ranging from +20.00D to -20.00D. The nesofilcon A contact lens is to be prescribed for single-use disposable wear, and is to be discarded after each removal.
Device Story
Bausch + Lomb nesofilcon A contact lens is a soft, daily disposable lens designed to correct refractive ametropia. The lens acts as a refractive medium, focusing light rays onto the retina. It is manufactured from nesofilcon A, a hydrophilic copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone, with 78% water content. The lens includes a UV-absorbing monomer and a blue tint (Reactive Blue Dye 246). It is supplied in blister packages containing borate buffered saline solution. The device is intended for prescription use by eye care professionals for patients with non-diseased eyes. The lens is discarded after each daily use, eliminating the need for cleaning or disinfection. By providing refractive correction, the lens improves visual acuity for the patient.
Clinical Evidence
A controlled clinical study compared the safety and efficacy of the Bausch + Lomb nesofilcon A contact lens to the predicate Bausch + Lomb SofLens® Daily Disposable (hilafilcon B) lens. Results supported a determination of substantial equivalence. Additional non-clinical testing included in-vitro cytotoxicity, ocular irritation, systemic toxicity, and evaluation of physical, chemical, and spectral properties, as well as leachable monomers and additives.
Technological Characteristics
Material: nesofilcon A (hydrophilic copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone). Water content: 78%. Oxygen permeability: 42 x 10-11 (polarographic method). UV-absorbing monomer included. Tint: Reactive Blue Dye 246. Manufacturing: Cast molded. Dimensions: 13.5-15.0mm diameter, 0.05-0.75mm center thickness, 7.8-9.5mm base curve. Power range: +20.00D to -20.00D. Packaging: Sterile borate buffered saline solution.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes exhibiting refractive astigmatism ≤ 2.00 diopters. Prescribed for single-use disposable wear.
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.
