Approval Order Statement Approval for an additional indication for therapeutic use for the vistakon (senofilcon a) contact lens. The device, as modified, will be marketed under the trade name acuvue oasys brand contact lenses with hydraclear plus (senofilcon a) and is additionally indicated for therapeutic use as a bandage lens for the following acute and chronic conditions: 1) for corneal protection in lid and corneal abnormalities such as entropion, trichiasis, tarsal scars and recurrent corneal erosion. In addition it is indicated for protection where sutures or ocular structure malformation, degeneration or paralysis may result in the need to protect the cornea from exposure or repeated irritation. 2) for corneal pain relief in conditions such as bullous keratopathy, epithelial erosion and abrasion, filamentary keratitis, and post-keratoplasty. 3) for use as a barrier during the healing process of epithelial defects such as chronic epithelial defects, corneal ulcer, neurotrophic and neuroparalytic keratitis, and chemical burns. 4) for post surgical conditions where bandage lens use is indicated such as post refractive surgery, lamellar grafts, corneal flaps, and additional ocular surgical conditions. 5) for structural stability and protection in piggy back lens fitting where the cornea and associated surfaces are too irregular to allow for corneal rigid gas permeable (rgp) lenses to be fit. In addition the use of the lens can prevent irritation and abrasions in conditions where there are elevation differences in the host/graph junction or scar tissue. Lenses prescribed for therapeutic use may be worn for daily or extended wearing periods. |
