Indications for Use
The Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses in clear or blue visitint are indicated for daily wear in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes. The Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) Spherical Soft Contact Lens is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) with astigmatism of 0.5 diopters or less which does not interfere with visual acuity. The Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) Toric Soft Contact Lens is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) with astigmatism of up to 6.00 diopters. The Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) Translating Bifocal Lens is indicated for the correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic persons with astigmatism of 0.5 diopters or less which does not interfere with visual acuity. The Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) Translating Toric Bifocal Lens is indicated for the correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic persons with astigmatism of up to 6.00 diopters. The Gelflex Alpha (polymacon) Soft Contact Lenses in clear or blue visitint are indicated for daily wear in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes. The Gelflex Alpha (polymacon) Spherical Soft Contact Lens is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) with astigmatism of 0.5 diopters or less which does not interfere with visual acuity. The Gelflex Alpha (polymacon)Toric Soft Contact Lens is indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) with astigmatism of up to 6.00 diopters. The Gelflex Alpha (polymacon) Translating Bifocal Lens is indicated for the correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic persons with astigmatism of 0.5 diopters or less which does not interfere with visual acuity. The Gelflex Alpha (polymacon) Translating Toric Bifocal Lens is indicated for the correction of distance and near vision in presbyopic persons with astigmatism of up to 6.00 diopters. The lenses may only be prescribed for daily wear and must be cleaned and disinfected as recommended by the eye care practitioner. The Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses may be disinfected using chemical (not heat) or hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems as recommended by your eye care practitioner. The Gelflex Alpha (polymacon) Soft Contact Lenses may be disinfected using heat, chemical (not heat) or hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems as recommended by your eye care practitioner.
Device Story
Gelflex Alpha (polymacon) and Gelflex Delta (methafilcon A) are lathe-cut soft contact lenses for daily wear. Designed for correction of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Available in spherical, toric, and translating bifocal/toric bifocal configurations. Clear or blue visitint options. Prescribed by eye care practitioners for patients with nondiseased eyes. Requires patient adherence to cleaning and disinfection regimens (heat, chemical, or hydrogen peroxide depending on material). Lenses provide refractive correction to improve visual acuity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided.

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.
