Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The COLORSOFT, Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear to enhance and/or alter the apparent eye color. The COLORSOFT visibility-handling tint provides for ease of patient handling and does not effect iris color. Except for decreased light transmittance due to the tint intensity, the pre-tinted lens optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed for the user prior to tinting. The lens is to be disinfected according to the original lens manufacturer's recommendation.
Device Story
COLORSOFT lenses are previously prescribed soft contact lenses modified via a tinting process. Manufacturing involves affixing FDA-listed reactive color additives to the anterior surface of the lens corresponding to the iris. Additives are reacted with poly hydroxyethyl methacrylate (pHEMA) and thoroughly washed to remove unbound reactive agents. Available in various shades (Blue, Green, Aquamarine, Yellow, Violet, Red, Chocolate, Amber) and patterns (clear pupil, annular, black pupil). Used by patients for cosmetic enhancement; prescribed by eye care practitioners. Lenses function as a refractive medium to focus light on the retina. Tinting does not alter original optical parameters, though light transmittance is decreased. Patients maintain lenses using original manufacturer-recommended disinfection procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on descriptive characteristics, material safety of FDA-listed color additives, and maintenance of original lens optical parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Material: poly hydroxyethyl methacrylate (pHEMA). Tinting: reactive color additives (e.g., reactive blue 21, reactive red 11, etc.) affixed to anterior surface. Patterns: clear pupil (2.0-8.0mm), annular (8.0-13.5mm), black pupil (2.0-12.5mm). Connectivity: None. Energy source: None. Sterilization: Per original lens manufacturer's recommendation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for daily wear to enhance or alter apparent eye color in patients requiring contact lenses. Contraindications not specified.
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.

#### Substantially Equivalent Devices:
The "COLORSOFT" tinted soft contact lens is substantially equivalent to the DURASOFT 2 COLORS tinted soft contact lens, the predicate device.
### INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear to enhance and/or alter the apparent eve color. The COLORSOFT visitint provides for ease of patient handling and does not effect iris color.
Except for decreased light transmittance due to the tint intensity, the pre-tinted lens optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed for the user prior to tinting. The lens is to be disinfected according to the original lens manufacturer's recommendation.
#### Device Descriptive Characteristics:
COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens are color enhanced soft contact lenses that have been previously prescribed for a specific patient. They have been supplied to Colorsoft Laboratories to be modified by a tinting process using color additives that have been listed as safe for contact lenses in accordance with the FDA's color additive regulations. The color additives are used in amounts not to exceed the minimum reasonably required to accomplish the intended coloring effect. As part of the manufacturing process, the lenses containing the color additives are thoroughly washed to remove unbound reactive color additives. The manufacturing process alters and/or changes the specifications to the clear version of a contact lens by affixing a listed color reactive additive on that portion of the anterior (front) surface of the lens that corresponds to the iris. The COLORSOFT. Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens are available in a light, medium or dark shade of the following enhance colors; Colorsoft Blue, Deep Blue, Aspen Green, Aquamarine, Yellow, Violet, Red, Chocolate, and Amber. COLORSOFT, Color Enhanced Tinted Soft Contact Lens are also available in a standard blue visibility-handling tint.
The color additive effect is formed by reacting one or more of the reactive color additives listed in this paragraph with (poly hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The reactive color additives that may be used either alone or in combination are: reactive blue 21, reactive blue 21, reactive blue 19, reactive blue 4, reactive blue 163, reactive red 11, reactive red 180, reactive yellow 15, reactive yellow 86, or reactive orange 78. The color additives used are not removed by lens handling and cleaning/disinfecting procedures. Except for affecting the amount of light transmittance through the lens, the coloring process does not alter the original characteristics of the pre-tinted lens.
The following are tint patterns available to the practitioner:
- Clear Pupil diameter (2,00mm to 8,00mm), standard is 4,5mm. ।
- Annular (iris) diameter (8.00mm to 13.5mm), standard is 11.5mm diameter. -
- -Black pupil diameter (2.0mm to 12.5mm), standard is 4.0mm diameter.
