#### DESCRIPTION of the DEVICE:
Soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells manufactured of polymerized material of HEMA and other monomeric ingredients including a proprietary ultraviolet absorber, crosslinked with EDGMA and other components which vield the appearance of lenses which are designed to fit over the corneal surface of the eye. These lenses are designed with varying base curves which conform to the shape of the radius of the cornea and center over the apex of the cornea to provide corrective refraction for functional conditions of the eye including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism (multiple foci). Each lens provides corrective power which is to correspond to the refractive power of the eye to which it is being treated. Each lens is designed with a base curve on the internal side of the lens and an optical zone in the center of the lens which is generally of a diameter greater than 6mm. Secondary and tertiary curves as well as beveled edge configurations are built into the lens for the purpose of aiding in lens centration and comfort.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE:
#### Spherical:
Biomedics 60 (ocufilcon F) UV Blocking Contact Lenses are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in persons with non-diseased eyes that are myopic (nearsighted) or hyperopic (farsighted) and may exhibit refractive astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters that does not interfere with visual acuity.

The average ultraviolet transmittance in terms of percent for the thinnest lenses (0.07mm includes lenses from -2.25D to -6.00D) are UV-A (23.4%) and UV-B (5.8%).
#### PRECLINICAL INFORMATION
A battery of preclinical tests including toxicological analyses of Ocular Irritation, Cytotoxicity, and Systemic Toxicity were conducted on the material in animals. The results of these tests indicated that the finished materials or extracts of the finished materials were non-toxic to the tissues of the animals which were tested. Residuals of chemical monomers and the UV additive
{3}------------------------------------------------
were evaluated and found to be of extremely low levels for the product monomers, and undetectable for the UV additive, to the sensitivity of the instrumentation used to calculate such residuals.
The physical, optical and chemical properties of the lens indicate that the device is substantially equivalent to the parent device of the marketed lens (ocufilcon D) material. The oxygen permeability of the material is 25.3 X 10-11 (cm³/sec)(mL x mm Hg); a water content of 60%, a refractive index of 1.4041; light transmittance of 97.7%.
Other physical characteristics of the device were equivalent to the company's prior marketed lenses to which this lens is compared.
The lens characteristics place it in Category IV (high water, ionic) and the device is compatible with all soft contact lens solutions available on the market for cleaning, rinsing and disinfection.
There was no clinical investigation of this lens as the characteristics of the device are substantially equivalent to the device from which the lens was modified. The safety information provided and physical, optical and chemical parameters of the lens are substantially equivalent to lenses already having had clinical evaluation.
