Intended Use
The BAUSCH & LOMB PureVision (balafilcon A) Visibility Tinted Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes, exhibiting astigmatism of 2.00 diopters or less, that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens may be prescribed for Frequent/Planned Replacement Wear or Disposable Wear in spherical powers ranging from +20.00D to -20.00D for daily wear. The BAUSCH & LOMB PureVision Toric (balafilcon A) Visibility Tinted Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) in aphakic and/or not-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes, exhibiting astigmatism of up to 5.00 diopters, that does not interfere with visual acuity. The lens may be prescribed for Frequent/Planned Replacement Wear or Disposable Wear in spherical powers ranging from +20.00D to -20.00D for daily wear.
Device Story
Soft hydrophilic contact lenses made of balafilcon A (copolymer of silicone vinyl carbamate, N-vinyl-pyrrolidone, siloxane crosslinker, vinyl alanine wetting monomer) tinted with Reactive Blue Dye 246. Designed for daily wear, frequent/planned replacement, or disposable use. Prescribed by eye care practitioners for refractive error correction. Lenses are cast-molded. No electronic, software, or algorithmic components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; no clinical studies were required as there were no changes to the device.
Technological Characteristics
Material: balafilcon A (36% water content). Refractive index: 1.426. Specific gravity: 1.064. Oxygen permeability (Dk): 91 (boundary/edge corrected). Tint: Reactive Blue Dye 246. Manufacturing: cast mold. Design: spherical and toric. Dimensions: base curve 7.8-9.5 mm, diameter 13.5-15.0 mm, center thickness 0.05-0.50 mm. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear correction of refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) in aphakic/non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes. Spherical design: astigmatism ≤ 2.00D. Toric design: astigmatism ≤ 5.00D. Powers: +20.00D to -20.00D.
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.
