| Issue: | Off Power: Two lots of ACUVUE® OASYS for Astigmatism were found to be off power for optical correction of refractive error. The consumer may recognise this issue as the contact lens is not accurately correcting the vision in one eye (some distortion or blurriness). Foreign Matter Two lots of ACUVUE® OASYS® contact lenses were found to contain a brush bristle between the blister package and foil. No adverse events have been reported as the brush bristle in all instances, has been visible to the consumer or customer when opening the contact lens blister package. |
