They are available for either conventional wear or planned replacement modalities. The Special Eyes 49 (hioxifilcon B) Sphere and Toric soft contact lenses for daily wear, are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes with myopia or hypercopia, and/or posses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 diopters. They are available for either conventional wear or planned replacement modalities. ## Device Story SpecialEyes 59 and 49 are hemispherical soft contact lenses; fabricated via lathe-cutting hioxifilcon A (59% water) or hioxifilcon B (49% water) copolymers of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (2-HEMA) and Glycerol Methacrylate (GMA). Lenses conform to corneal curvature to provide a transparent optical surface for vision correction. Intended for daily wear in aphakic/non-aphakic patients. Prescribed by eye care professionals. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Dimensional and verification testing confirmed product conformance to specifications. Toxicology, microbiology, lens compatibility, and shelf-life data were leveraged from the predicate device (K964528). ## Technological Characteristics Materials: hioxifilcon A (59% water) and hioxifilcon B (49% water) copolymers of 2-HEMA and GMA. Design: Hemispherical shell, spherical or toric. Fabrication: Lathe-cut. Energy source: None. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - BENZ G-5X (HIOXIFILCON A) SOFT DAILY WEAR CONTACT LENS ([K983773](/device/K983773.md)) - BENZ-G 3X (HIOXIFILCON B) SPHERICAL AND TORIC SOFT DAILY WEAR CONTACT LENS ([K964528](/device/K964528.md)) - ALDEN HP SHPERE AND TORIC / OXYLENS ([K042242](/device/K042242.md)) - ALDEN HP SHPERE AND TORIC / OXYLENS ([K981252](/device/K981252.md)) - METRO OPTICS SATUREYES SPHEREICAL AND TORIC ([K953199](/device/K953199.md)) - METRO OPTICS SATUREYES SPHEREICAL AND TORIC ([K964902](/device/K964902.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Sphere and Toric Soft Contact Lenses | | Classification Name: | Lenses, soft contact, daily wear | | Product Code: | LPL | ## Intended Use: The Special Eyes 59 (hioxifilcon A) Sphere and Toric soft contact lenses for daily wear, are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes with myopia or hypercopia, and/or posses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 diopters. They are available for either conventional wear or planned replacement modalities. The Special Eyes 49 (hioxifilcon B) Sphere and Toric soft contact lenses for daily wear, are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and non aphakic persons with nondiseased eyes with myopia or hypercopia, and/or posses refractive astigmatism not exceeding 10 diopters. They are available for either conventional wear or planned replacement modalities. ## Device Description: SpecialEyes 59 and 49 soft contact lenses are hemispherical shells available in spherical or toric lens designs and in. hioxifilcon A and hioxifilcon B materials.The lenses are fabricated by lathe cutting hioxifilcon A and hioxifilcon B materials both non-ionic copolymers of 2hydroxeyethylmethacrylate (2-HEMA) and Glycerol Methacrylate (GMA). The water content by weight is 49% for hioxifilcon B and 59% for hioxifilcon A. when immersed in normal saline. In the hydrated state, the lens conforms to the curvature of the eye covering the cornea and extending slightly beyond the limbus forming a transparent optical surface. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Preclinical Testing: Dimensional and verification testing has been completed and included in Section 10 of this submission. As evidenced in the results all product conformed to specification requirements. All other preclinical testing such as toxicology, microbiology, lens compatibility, preservation uptake tests and shelf life studies were completed on the predicate device, which is identical to the device proposed in this 510(k), see K964528. #### Substantial Equivallence to Predicate Device: SpecialEyes claims the proposed device to be substantially equivalent to the devices previously cleared by FDA as listed below. SpecialEyes claims this equivalence be cause the proposed device has an equivalent intended use, manufacturing materials, operating principles, and physical, operational and biological specification as compared to the predicate devices. The similarities and differences between the proposed and predicate devices have been identified and explained in the Comparison Matrix which has been included in Section 9 of this submission.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. {3}------------------------------------------------ # Page 2 -- Mr. Arthur J. Ward This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification.
