Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are these contact lenses designed for continuous wear, or are they meant for daily wear only?
The Ultra (samfilcon A) Multifocal for Astigmatism Contact Lens is explicitly designed for daily wear only, as stated in the device description. This means they are intended to be worn during the day and removed before sleeping, rather than being worn continuously for extended periods.
How are these lenses supplied, and are they sterile?
These lenses are supplied as single-use, non-sterile disposable lenses. Since they are non-sterile, they must be handled and stored according to standard ophthalmic hygiene protocols before use, such as cleaning and disinfecting the lens case and hands.
What materials are used in these lenses, and how does that affect comfort?
The Ultra lenses are made from silicone hydrogel material (samfilcon A), which balances oxygen permeability with comfort for extended daily wear. This material is designed to allow sufficient oxygen transmission to the cornea while maintaining softness and moisture retention, reducing dryness and irritation.
How do I determine the correct size or power for a patient, and are there multiple options available?
The lenses come in multiple sizes and powers, as indicated by the listed FEI (Foreign Equipment Identifier) numbers in the specifications. These numbers correspond to different prescriptions and base curves, allowing for customization to fit a wide range of prescriptions for presbyopia and astigmatism. A clinician should select the appropriate FEI number based on the patient’s prescription and corneal measurements.
What regulatory pathways were followed for this device, and how does that impact its use?
The Ultra lenses were cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway and comply with MDR (Medical Device Regulation) standards. This means they have undergone evaluation to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, ensuring safety and performance for correcting presbyopia and astigmatism in daily-wear scenarios. The regulatory route confirms their suitability for ophthalmic use as intended.
