The lenses may be prescribed in otherwise non-diseased eyes that require a rigid contact lens for the management of

refractive (e.g., LASIK) surgery.

myopia of up to 3.00 diopters in non-diseased eyes.
The Equalens™ contact lens is indicated for daily wear or extended wear from 1 to 7 days between removals for cleaning
and disinfection as recommended by the eye care practitioner. It is also indicated for extended wear for the correction of
refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes in powers from

Insert and remove your lens as instructed by your eye care practitioner.
CARING FOR YOUR LENSES
• Cleaning and disinfecting your lenses between uses is essential for healthy eyes
• Use only Rigid Gas Permeable contact lens care products following the manufacturer's instructions
• Always use fresh, unexpired lens care solutions
• Do not use other solutions such as tap or bottled water or saliva to rinse, store, or re-wet lenses
• Always keep lenses completely immersed in the recommended solution when not being worn
• Never use sharp objects or finger nails to remove lenses from their containers or your eyes
• Remember to clean your lens case whenever you clean your lenses
• Always discard lenses at the end of the wear schedule prescribed by your eye care practitioner
• For extended periods of storage, ensure lenses are cleaned and completely dried and stored in a clean lens case without
lens care solution. Thoroughly clean and condition lenses before reusing.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
DO NOT USE RGP and PMMA Contact Lenses if you are suffering from:
• Allergy, inflammation, infection, or redness in or around the eye
• Dry eyes (inadequate tear fluid)
• Poor health affecting the eyes (e.g., colds and flu)
• Any systemic illness affecting the eyes
WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
Failure to follow your eye care practitioner' s recommended wear schedule and cleaning regimen can give rise to greater risk
of serious eye infections.
Contact your eye care practitioner before wearing contact lenses when:
• Practicing water sports
• In excessively dry or dusty environments
• Using eye medication.
If you experience any of the following problems, remove your lenses immediately:
• Discomfort (eyes stinging, burning, itching, irritation, or other eye pain)
• Unusual secretions or excessive watering from the eye (including allergic reactions)
• Inflammation (redness, conjunctivitis)
• Severe or persistent dry eyes
• Corneal abrasion
• Reduced or blurred vision (visual disturbances or alterations)
• Rainbows or halos around lights
• Sensitivity to light
If any of these symptoms continue after removal, cleaning, and reinsertion of the lens or insertion of a new lens, then
remove the lens and contact your eye care practitioner. These symptoms can lead to more serious conditions if ignored.
Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapidly and lead to loss of vision (including blindness).
