Phakic Intraocular Lenses (cont.)
FDA-APPROVED PHAKIC LENSES
To find detailed information about specific
medical devices, including diagnostic tests, FDA
developed a new resource, the
Devices@FDA. Use this web site to:
- Find out if devices are approved by FDA
- Get phone numbers and addresses of medical device
companies
- Read and print patient information and instructions
for use
- Learn about changes to devices since
they were approved.
To see a list of FDA-approved phakic
intraocular lenses, use the
Devices@FDA search. Please note that new
listings are not added until approximately five
working days after the last day of the month in
which the device was approved. In some cases, it
can take as long as five weeks to appear.
