Indications and Important Safety Information for daily disposable soft contact lenses (stenfilcon A, somofilcon A):

Indications

CooperVision daily disposable soft contact lenses are prescription devices indicated for daily wear, single use vision correction as prescribed by an Eye Care Practitioner. The lenses are intended for wear in persons with non-diseased eyes.

Daily disposable contact lenses are intended to be worn for one day and are not intended for cleaning or re-use. On removal, the lenses should be thrown away and a fresh pair used each day.

Daily wear lenses are not indicated for overnight wear, and patients should not wear lenses while sleeping.

Important Safety Information

Problems can occur while wearing soft contact lenses that may result in serious injury to the eye. Proper use of contact lenses is essential for the safe use of these products. Follow your Eye Care Practitioner’s directions and all labeling instructions for proper use of lenses. Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapidly and lead to loss of vision.

Who Should Not Use Soft Contact Lenses

Do not use your contact lenses when any of the following conditions exist:

  • Acute and subacute inflammation or infection of the anterior chamber of the eye.
  • Any eye disease, injury, or abnormality that affects the cornea, conjunctiva, or eyelids.
  • Severe dry eye.
  • Reduced corneal sensitivity (corneal hypoesthesia).
  • Any systemic disease that may affect the eye or be exaggerated by wearing contact lenses. For example Sjogren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and collagen vascular diseases affect your ability to wear contact lenses.
  • Allergic reactions of ocular surfaces or surrounding tissues (adnexa) that may be induced or exaggerated by wearing contact lenses or use of contact lens solutions.
  • An allergic reaction can occur to any ingredient in contact lens solutions. Example: Some people are allergic to the trace amounts of mercury or thimerosal included as an active ingredient in some contact lens solutions.
  • Any active corneal infection (bacterial, fungal, or viral).
  • If eyes become red or irritated.
  • If you are unable to follow lens care regimen or unable to obtain assistance to do so.

Warnings and Precautions

Water Activity

  • Do not expose your contact lenses to water while wearing them.
  • Water may contain microorganisms (germs) that can lead to severe infection, vision loss, or blindness. After swimming in pools, lakes, or oceans, you should discard them and replace them with a new pair.
  • Ask your Eye Care Practitioner for recommendations about wearing the lenses during any activity involving water.

Handling Precautions

  • Do not use if the sterile blister package is opened or damaged.
  • Always wash and rinse hands before handling lenses. Do not get cosmetics, lotions, soaps, creams, deodorant, or sprays in the eyes or on the lenses. It is best to insert lenses before putting on makeup. Water-based cosmetics are less likely to damage lenses than oil-based products.
  • Lens contamination may occur if you handle your lens with dirty hands.
  • Carefully follow the handling, insertion, removal, and wearing instructions prescribed by your Eye Care Practitioner.
  • Always handle lenses gently and avoid dropping them.
  • Never use tweezers or other tools to remove lenses from the lens container. Pour the lens and packaging solution into your hand.
  • Do not touch the lens with fingernails.

Lens Wearing Precautions

  • Never wear your lenses beyond the period recommended by your Eye Care Practitioner.
  • If aerosol products such as hairspray are used while wearing lenses, be careful and keep eyes closed until the spray has settled.
  • Avoid all harmful or irritating vapors and fumes while wearing lenses.
  • Ask your Eye Care Practitioner about wearing the lenses during sporting activities.
  • Always discard lenses following the recommended replacement schedule prescribed by your Eye Care Practitioner.

Who Should Know That You Are Wearing Contact Lenses

  • Inform your doctor (health care practitioner) that you wear contact lenses.
  • Always inform your employer that you wear contact lenses. Some jobs may require use of eye protection equipment or may restrict contact lens wear.
  • Always contact your Eye Care Practitioner before using any medicine in your eyes.

Other Topics to Discuss with Your Eye Care Practitioner

  • Follow-up visits are necessary to assure the continued health of your eyes. You should be instructed to a recommended follow-up schedule.

UV Blocker

UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing googles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. Persons should continue to use their protective UV-absorbing eyewear as directed.

Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of the outdoor activities). UV-absorbing contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-absorbing contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your Eye Care Practitioner for more information.

What are Key Complications Associated With Contact Lens Wear?

Be aware that the following problems may occur when wearing contact lenses:

  • Your eyes may burn, sting, and/or itch or you may experience other eye pain.
  • Comfort may be less than when the lens was first placed on the eye.
  • There may be a feeling that something is in the eye such as a foreign body or a scratched area.
  • There may be excessive watering (tearing), unusual eye secretions or redness of your eye.
  • Reduced sharpness of vision (poor visual acuity).
  • Blurred vision, rainbows, or halos around objects, sensitivity to light (photophobia) or dry eyes may also occur if your lenses are worn continuously or for too long a time.

If you notice any of the above, you should:

  • Immediately remove the lenses.
  • If the discomfort or the problem stops, then look closely at the lens.
  • If the lens is in some way damaged, do not put the lens back on the eye. You should discard the lens and insert a fresh lens on your eye.
  • If the problem continues, you should immediately remove the lenses and consult your Eye Care Practitioner. You should keep the lens off the eye and seek immediate professional identification of the problem and prompt treatment to avoid serious eye damage. Your Eye Care Practitioner will examine your eyes to be certain that a serious condition such as infection, corneal ulcer, neovascularization, or swelling of the colored part of the eye (iritis) is not present.

Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapidly and lead to loss of vision. Daily wear lenses are not indicated for overnight wear, and you should not wear lenses while sleeping. Clinical studies have shown that the risk of serious adverse reactions is increased when these lenses are worn overnight. Studies have shown that contact lens wearers who are smokers have a higher incidence of adverse reactions than nonsmokers. If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, or redness of the eye, you should be instructed to immediately remove lenses and promptly contact your Eye Care Practitioner.

You should be advised of the following instructions for use and warnings pertaining to contact lens wear:

Soaking and Storing Your Lenses

  • Use only fresh multi-purpose (contact lens disinfecting) solution each time you soak (store) your lenses.
  • Do not reuse or “top off” old solution left in your lens case since solution reuse reduces effective lens disinfection and could lead to severe infection, vision loss or blindness.
  • “Topping-Off” is the addition of fresh solution to solution that has been sitting in your case.

Rub and Rinse Time

  • Rub and rinse your lenses according to the recommended lens rubbing and rinsing times in the labeling of your multi-purpose solution to adequately disinfect your lenses.
  • Rub and rinse your lenses for the recommended amount of time to help prevent serious eye infections.
  • Never use water, saline solution, or rewetting drops to disinfect your lenses. These solutions will not disinfect your lenses. Not using the recommended disinfectant can lead to severe infection, vision loss or blindness.

Lens Case Care

  • Empty and clean contact lens cases with digital rubbing using fresh, sterile disinfecting solutions/contact lens cleaner. Never use water. &Cleaning should be followed by rinsing with fresh, sterile disinfection solutions (never use water) and wiping the lens cases with fresh, clean tissue is recommended. Never air-dry or recap the lens case lids after use without any additional cleaning methods. If air drying, be sure that no residual solution remains in the case before allowing it to air dry.
  • Replace your lens case according to the directions given to you by your Eye Care Practitioner or the labeling that came with your case.
  • Contact lens cases can be a source of bacterial growth.

Do not store your lenses or rinse your lens case with water or any non-sterile solution. Only use fresh multi-purpose solution so you do not contaminate your lenses or lens case. Use of non-sterile solution can lead to severe infection, vision loss, or blindness. 

Discard Date on Multipurpose Solution Bottle

  • Discard any remaining solution after the recommended time period indicated on the bottle of multi-purpose solution used for disinfecting and soaking your lenses.
  • The discard date refers to the time you can safely use contact lens care products after the bottle has been opened. It is not the same as the expiration date, which is the last date that the product is still effective before it is opened.
  • Using your multi-purpose solution beyond the discard date could result in contamination of the solution and can lead to severe infection, vision loss, or blindness.
  • To avoid contamination, DO NOT touch the tip of the container to any surface. Replace cap after using.
  • To avoid contaminating your solution, DO NOT transfer to other bottles or containers.

Water Activity
