DESCRIPTION AND WEAR APPLICATION

The Rigid Gas Permeable and PMMA Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear for the correction of refractive ametropia

(myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia) in aphakic and non-aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes.
The lenses may be prescribed in otherwise non-diseased eyes that require a rigid contact lens for the management of

irregular corneal conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or following penetrating keratoplasty or

refractive (e.g., LASIK) surgery.
The Boston® XO and Boston® XO

contact lenses may also be suitable for an orthokeratology fitting program for the

temporary reduction of myopia of up to 5.00 diopters in non-diseased eyes.
The Boston® EO contact lens may also be suitable for an orthokeratology fitting program for the temporary reduction of

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

+12.00D to -20.00D.
The Quantum II RGP contact lens are indicated for daily or extended wear from 1 to 7 days between removals for cleaning

and disinfection as recommended by the eye care practitioner, in powers from +20.00D to -20.00D for daily wear and

INSERTION AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before handling lenses, always wash and dry hands thoroughly avoiding perfumed or medicated soaps. Carefully remove

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).
