Reason/Issue |
Coopervision's investigation of complaints have identified that a limited number of lots were manufactured with the cylinder axis outside the allowable specification. There is not likely to be added medical risk to an incorrect axis lens use, since the patient will notice the blur and visual disturbance right away and report it to the practitioner. Replacement of the lens with the proper power parameter in sphere and cylinder, and/or axis of astigmatism will alleviate the visual blur and disturbance. |
