FDA Product Code LPL: Lenses, Soft Contact, Daily Wear

Under FDA product code LPL, soft contact lenses for daily wear are cleared for the correction of refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

These hydrophilic lenses conform to the shape of the cornea and correct vision by refracting light onto the retina. Daily wear lenses are removed nightly for cleaning and disinfection, distinguishing them from extended wear lenses cleared under other product codes.

LPL devices are Class II medical devices, regulated under 21 CFR 886.5925 and reviewed by the FDA Ophthalmic panel.

Leading manufacturers include CooperVision, Inc., Alcon Laboratories, Inc. and Pegavision Corporation.
