Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
Flexlens are soft contact lenses designed for daily wear, intended to correct refractive errors by resurfacing the cornea. These lenses are classified as corneal reshaping devices, which gently mold the cornea during sleep to provide clear vision upon removal in the morning.
Flexlens are supplied as single-use, non-surgical ophthalmic devices with FDA Premarket Approval (PMA N17976). They are intended for overnight wear and are regulated under the product code LPL. The lenses are manufactured by Paragon Vision Sciences and are distributed in sterile packaging for direct application to the eye.
