WARNING:
UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing
eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not
completely cover the eye and the surrounding area. You should continue to use
UV-absorbing eyewear as directed.
Note: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated
with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental
conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and
nature of outdoor activities). UV blocking contact lenses help provide
protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not
been done to demonstrate that wearing UV blocking contact lenses reduces the
risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your Eye Care
Practitioner for more information.

FITTING GUIDELINES
1. GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Patient Selection
· Persons who would not or could not adhere to a recommended care regimen or
are unable to place and remove the lenses should not be provided with them.
Failure to follow handling and wearing instructions could lead to serious eye
infections, which might result in corneal ulcers.
· Patient communication is vital because it relates not only to patient
selection but also to ensuring patient compliance. It is also necessary to
discuss the information contained in the Patient Information Booklet with the
patient at the time of the initial examination.
· Patients selected to wear the lenses should be chosen for their motivation
to wear contact lenses, general health and co-operation. The Eye Care
Practitioner must take care in selecting, examining and instructing contact
lens patients. Patient hygiene and willingness to follow practitioner
instructions are essential to their success.
· Patients who do not meet these criteria should not be provided with contact
lenses.
Pre-fitting Examination
· A detailed history is crucial to determining patient needs and expectations.
Your patient should be questioned regarding vocation, desired lens wearing
time (full or part-time), and desired lens usage (reading, recreation or
hobbies).
· Initial evaluation of the trial lens should be preceded by a complete eye
examination, including visual acuity with and without correction at both
distance and near, keratometry and slit lamp examination.
· Perform a preliminary evaluation to determine distance refraction as well as
to rule out contraindications to contact lens wear described in the Package
Insert.
· Lens power is determined from the patient’s spherical equivalent
prescription corrected to the corneal plane.
· Place lens on the eye. Allow the lens to remain on the eye long enough to
achieve a state of equilibrium. Small variation in the tonicity, pH or the
lens solutions and individual tear composition may cause slight changes in
fitting characteristics.
· If the initial lenses selection covers the patient’s cornea fully, provides
discernible movement (0.10 mm to 0.30 mm) after blink, is comfortable for the
patient and provides satisfactory visual performance, it is a well-fitted lens
and can be dispensed (see Criteria for a Well-Fitted Lens under Clinical
Assessment below).
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C
Page 8 of 24 Revision Date: June 2024
Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
Clinical Assessment
1. Criteria for a Well-Fitted Lens: – 0.5 to1.0 mm movement in primary gaze –
1.0 mm to1.5 mm movement in upgaze – centration in primary gaze
2. Characteristics of a Tight Lens – <0.5 mm movement in primary or upgaze
3. Characteristics of a Loose Lens – >1.0 mm movement in primary gaze – >1.5
mm movement in upgaze – poor centration in primary and upgaze
· Full coverage of the cornea is defined as the lens edge extending beyond the
limbal area in all directions. Initial lens evaluation must be done after at
least 10 minutes of lens wear to allow the lens to stabilize and any tearing
to subside.
· Following a blink, the lens should move vertically on the patient’s eye
about 0.1 mm to 0.30 mm. Using a slit lamp, this movement can be estimated by
comparing it with the 1.0 mm lens peripheral bevel width.
· When lenses are dispensed for vision correction, the wearer must be supplied
with an appropriate wearing regimen and must fully understand all lens
handling and emergency lens care instructions to prevent lens damage as
described in the Package Insert and the Patient Information Booklet.
Follow-up Care
a) Follow-up examinations are necessary to ensure continued successful contact
lens wear. From the day of dispensing and optimum follow-up schedule for daily
wear is recommended.
b) Prior to a follow-up examination, the contact lens should be worn for at
least 6 to 8 hours and the patient should be asked to identify any problems
which might be occurring related to contact lens wear.
c) With lenses in place on the eyes, evaluate a fitting performance to assure
that Criteria for a Well-Fitted Lens continue to be satisfied. Examine the
lenses closely for surface deposition and/or damage.
d) After lens removal, instill sodium fluorescein (unless contraindicated)
into the eyes and conduct a thorough biomicroscopy examination. · Presence of
vertical corneal striae in the posterior central cornea and/or corneal
neovascularization is indicative of excessive cornea edema. · Presence of
corneal staining and/or limbal-conjunctival hyperemia can be indicative of an
unclean lens, excessive lens wear and/or poorly fitting lens. · Papillary
conjunctival changes may be indicative of an unclean and/or damaged lens.
If any of the above observations are judged abnormal, various professional
judgements are necessary to alleviate the problem and restore the eye to
optimal conditions. If the Criteria of a
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C
Page 9 of 24 Revision Date: June 2024
Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
Well-Fitted Lens is not satisfied during any follow-up examination, the patient should be re-fitted with a more appropriate lens.
2. SPHERICAL LENS FITTING GUIDELINES
A spherical over-refraction should be performed to determine the final lens power after the lens fit is judged acceptable. The spherical over-refraction should be combined with the trial lens power to determine the final lens prescription. The patient should experience good visual acuity with the correct lens power unless there is excessive residual astigmatism.
If vision is acceptable, perform a slit lamp examination to assess adequate fit (centration and movement). If fit is acceptable, dispense the lenses instructing the patient to return in one week for assessment.
3. TORIC FITTING GUIDELINES
Although most aspects of the fitting procedure are identical for all types of soft contact lenses, including torics, there are some additional steps and/or rules to follow to assure the proper fit of toric lenses.
The only new steps that must be followed for the Silicone Hydrogel 1 day toric (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker are that you must determine the stability, repeatability and drift angle of the lens axis so that you can prescribe the correct lens axis for your patient.
A. How to determine Lens Cylinder and Axis Orientation for the Silicone Hydrogel 1 day toric (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
1. Locate the Orientation Mark To help determine the proper orientation of the toric lens, you will find one mark about 1 mm from the lens edge representing the vertical position of the lens at 6 o’clock. You will need a biomicroscope and a 1 mm or 2 mm parallelpiped to highlight the mark when the lens is fitted to the eye. There are a number of techniques which you can use to improve the visibility of the 6 o’clock mark. With your parallelpiped and medium magnification (10x or 15x), slowly pan down the lens, looking just below the direct illumination at the retroilluminated area. Backlighting the mark this way should make it more visible. Sometimes manipulating the lower lid may be necessary to uncover the mark.
2. Observe Lens Rotation and Stability Observe the position and stability of the 6 o’clock mark. The 6 o’clock mark is not a “must” however; the absolute requirement is that the axis position be stable and repeatable.
The mark may stabilize somewhat left or right (drift) of the vertical meridian and still enable you to fit a toric lens for that eye, as long as the lens always returns to the same “drift axis” position after settling. The deviation can be compensated for in the final prescription. Your objective is to ensure that whatever position the initial lens assumes near 6 o’clock, this position must be stable and repeatable. With full eye movement or
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C

Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable
Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
heavy blink, you may see the marks swing away, but they must return quickly to
the original stable position. If the lens does not return quickly, you may
need to select a different lens.
Assessing Rotation Imagine the eye as a clock dial and every hour represents a
30o interval. If the orientation mark of the initial lens stabilizes somewhat
left or right of the vertical position, the final lens will orient on the eye
with the same deviation. You can use an axis reticule in the slit lamp or use
a line-scribed lens in a spectacle trial frame to measure or estimate the
“drift angle” of the cylinder axis.
To compensate for this “drift”, measure or estimate the “drift”, then add or
subtract it from the refractive axis to determine the correct cylinder axis.
Use the LARS (Left Add, Right Subtract) method to determine which direction to
compensate.
B. How to determine the Final Lens Power for the Silicone Hydrogel 1 day toric
(somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV
Blocker
When the diagnostic lens has its axis aligned in the same meridian as the
patient’s refractive axis, a spherocylindrical over-refraction may be
performed and visual acuity determined. However, in the case of crossed axes,
such as when the diagnostic lens axis is different from the patient’s
refractive axis, it is not advisable to over-refract because of the difficulty
in computing the resultant power.
In fitting contact lenses, it is customary to prescribe the full power in the
sphere. In the cylinder, however, any lens rotation is visually disturbing to
the patient, so it is more practical to prescribe as weak a cylinder as
possible. So, here is how to determine the final lens power.
For the Sphere: If sphere alone or combined sphere and cylinder Rx>±4.00D,
compensate for vertex distance. If sphere alone or combined sphere and
cylinder Rx4.00D, vertex compensation is not necessary.
For the Cylinder: Adjust the axis by the drift angle using LARS. Choose a
cylinder that is 0.25D from the refractive cylinder.
Case Examples
Example 1 Manifest (spectacle) refraction: O.D. -2.50 -1.25 x 180 20/20 O.S.
-2.00 -1.00 x 180 20/20
Choose a diagnostic lens for each eye with an axis as close to 180o as
possible. Place the lens on each eye and allow a minimum of 3 minutes for it
to equilibrate, based on the patient’s initial response to the lens.
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C
Page 11 of 24 Revision Date: June 2024
Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
Check the orientation of the axis mark. If the bottom axis mark is in the 6 o’clock position on both eyes, choose the appropriate cylinder as listed previously.
Here is the Rx Prescribed/Ordered: O.D. -2.50 -1.25 x 180 O.S. -2.00 -0.75 x 180
Example 2 Manifest (spectacle) refraction: O.D. -3.00 -1.00 x 90 20/20 O.S. -4.75 -2.00 x 90 20/20
Choose a diagnostic lens of -3.00 -0.75 x 90 for the right eye and -4.50 -1.75 x 90 for the left eye, the nearest lenses available to the spherical power and axis needed. Place the lens on each eye and allow a minimum of 3 minutes for it to equilibrate. The orientation mark on the right lens rotates left from the 6 o’clock position by 10o.
The fitting indicates the following:
Right Eye Compensate the 10o axis drift by adding it to the manifest refraction axis.
Here is the Rx prescribed: O.D. -3.00 -0.75 x 100
Left Eye
The lens on the left eye shows good centration, movement and a consistent
tendency for the mark to drift right by 10o from the 6 o’clock position
following a forced blink.
Since the manifest refraction called for a power of -4.75D, adjust for the vertex distance and reduce the sphere by 0.25D and prescribe the -1.75D cylinder. Compensate for the 10° axis drift by subtracting it from the manifest refraction.
Here is the Rx prescribed: O.S. -4.50 -1.75 x 80.
If vision is acceptable, perform a slit lamp examination to assess adequate fit (centration and movement). If fit is acceptable, dispense the lenses instructing the patient to return in one week for reassessment.
4. MULTIFOCAL FITTING GUIDELINES
A. Presbyopic Needs Assessment and Patient Education.
Multifocal contact lenses may produce compromise to vision under certain circumstances and the patient should understand that they might not find their vision acceptable in specific situations (i.e., reading a menu in a dimly lit restaurant, driving at night in rainy/foggy conditions, etc.). Therefore, caution should be exercised when the patient is wearing the correction for the first time until they are familiar with the vision provided in visually challenging environments. Occupational and environmental visual demands should be considered. If the patient requires critical visual acuity and stereopsis, it should be determined by trial whether this patient can function adequately with

Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker Fitting Guide
It is strongly recommended that the manufacturer’s fitting guidelines are
followed to obtain an optimum visual result. The selection of ADD power should
follow the fitting guidance in Table 1.
Step 1 – Determine:
Spectacle refraction distance and near: – obtain vertex corrected, least minus
most plus, best sphere (BS), distance vision correction with near addition.
Ocular dominance: – wearing distance correction viewing 6/6 line binocularly
pass a +1.50 DS lens alternately in front of each eye. The dominant eye is
that for which the vision is least affected by the blurring lens. (Or see
monovision eye selection.)

Step 3
Allow initial lenses to settle for 20 minutes preferably encouraging this adaption period to occur outside the consulting room and in a `real world’ setting to better mimic normal viewing habits.
Step 4
Acquire patient’s subjective assessment of lens performance both distance and near using a 1-10 scale. Do this prior to taking visual acuity measurements.
Step 5
Assess distance and near vision binocularly and monocularly. Demonstrate the vision under various lighting conditions and at distance intermediate and near using wherever possible objects and viewing distances common to patient, e.g., computer, mobile phone, driving distances, etc. Make adjustments in power as necessary (see Multifocal Troubleshooting Silicone Hydrogel 1 day multifocal (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker below).
Step 6
Once distance and near vision are acceptable assess fit and centration of lens using slit lamp and dispense trial lenses with a follow up assessment appointment made for a week to ten days’ time. (See Clinical Assessment and Follow-up Care.)
C. Silicone Hydrogel 1 day multifocal (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker, 3 ADD (Binocular Progressive System) Contact Lens Fitting Guide
It is strongly recommended that the manufacturer’s fitting guidelines are followed to obtain an optimum visual result. The selection of ADD power should follow the fitting guidance in Table 2.
Step 1
Start with an up-to-date spectacle refraction, prescribing maximum plus for binocular distance vision (do not over-minus). When determining spectacle add, consider patient’s lifestyle vision needs (handheld device or other reading material, desktop computer, etc.).
Step 2
Determine spherical equivalent for contact lens distance sphere power (corrected for vertex distance, if correction greater than ± 4.00D). Ensure refractive astigmatism is no more than 0.75DC in both eyes.
Step 3
Determine distance eye dominance with +1.00D blur method; if inconclusive, determine dominance with sighting method.
Step 4
For initial trial lenses, use this table below to determine which add (LOW, MED or HIGH) to select along with the contact lens distance sphere power.

(Binocular Progressive System) Contact Lenses
Step 5
Allow patient to experience lenses for 10 to 15 minutes in “real world” before assessing vision.
Step 6
Check patient’s vision binocularly with room lights on. Assess vision at different viewing distances (for example, near vision with handheld device or other reading material; distance vision in surrounding environment under normal lighting conditions). [See Multifocal Troubleshooting Silicone Hydrogel 1 day multifocal (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker, 3 ADD (Binocular Progressive System) below.]
If acceptable, dispense initial trial lenses.
D. Multifocal Troubleshooting Silicone Hydrogel 1 day multifocal (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker
Unacceptable Distance Vision: Starting with 0.25 DS steps and dominant eye using handheld trial lens, determine the amount of additional plus or least minus over one or both eyes that improves distance vision without affecting near vision.
Unacceptable Near Vision: Starting with 0.25 DS steps and non-dominant eye using handheld trial lenses determine the most plus least minus over one or both eyes that improves near vision without affecting distance vision.
E. Multifocal Troubleshooting Silicone Hydrogel 1 day multifocal (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lens with UV Blocker, 3 ADD (Binocular Progressive System)
Unacceptable Distance Vision: Have patient keep both eyes open and offer ±0.25D to the dominant eye only (use handheld lenses or a flipper; do not use a phoropter). If distance vision improves, check that near vision is

maintained. Adjust by a maximum of ±0.25D, as applicable, the contact lens
distance sphere power of the dominant eye lens.
a. If the dominant eye’s distance vision enhancement does not improve distance
vision, offer ±0.25D binocularly and check that near vision is maintained.
b. If near vision worsens with the adjustment of lens power on the dominant
eye, follow the Near vision enhancement steps below while keeping the new
over-refraction handheld lens over the dominant eye.
Unacceptable Near Vision: Have patient keep both eyes open and offer ±0.25D to
the non-dominant eye only (use handheld lenses or a flipper; do not use a
phoropter). If near vision improves, check that distance vision is maintained.
Adjust the distance sphere power of the non-dominant eye lens by a maximum of
±0.25D. For those wearing the High add, the adjustment can be extended to up
to ±0.50D.
a. If the non-dominant eye’s near vision enhancement does not improve near
vision, offer ±0.25D binocularly and check that distance vision is maintained.
b. If distance vision worsens with the adjustment of lens power on the non-
dominant eye, follow the Distance vision enhancement steps above while keeping
the new over-refraction handheld lens over the non-dominant eye.
Tips for multifocal fitting – Careful patient selection and set correct
expectations with them. – Using up-to-date spectacle prescription, determine
spherical equivalent distance power (corrected for vertex distance). – Use up
to date most plus least minus vertex distance corrected best sphere
prescription. – Adhere to manufacturer’s suggested fitting guidelines. –
Assess vision in good illumination and with real life scenarios. – Have
patient keep both eyes open and use handheld lenses or a flipper; do not use a
phoropter. – Assess vision binocularly using handheld lenses. – Use 0.25D
steps when altering lenses. It is unusual for more than 0.25D changes to be
needed. – Take care when adding additional minus power for distance vision so
that near vision is not affected. – Always use the lowest ADD power possible
to achieve acceptable near vision. – If patient is happy with visual acuity,
do not attempt to refine to best Snellen acuity as with spectacle refraction.
The proviso being subjective assessment is clinically and professionally
acceptable. – Prescribe maximum plus power for binocular distance vision; do
not over minus.
5. MONOVISION (SPHERICAL AND TORIC FITTING GUIDELINES)
1. Patient Selection
A. Monovision Needs Assessment For a good prognosis, the patient should have
adequately corrected distance and near visual acuity in each eye. The
amblyopic patient with significant astigmatism (greater than one diopter) in
one eye may not be a good candidate for monovision.
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C
Page 17 of 24 Revision Date: June 2024
Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
Occupational and environmental visual demands should be considered. If the
patient requires critical vision (visual acuity and stereopsis), it should be
determined by trial whether this patient can function adequately with
monovision. Monovision contact lens wear may not be optimal for such
activities as:
(1) Visually demanding situations such as operating potentially dangerous
machinery or performing other potentially hazardous activities; and
(2) Driving automobiles (e.g., driving at night). Patients who cannot pass
their state driver’s license requirements with monovision correction should be
advised to not drive with this correction, OR may require that additional
over-correction be prescribed.
B. Patient Education
Not all patients function equally well with monovision correction. Patients
may not perform with this correction as they have with bifocal reading
glasses. Each patient should understand that monovision, as well as other
presbyopic contact lenses, or other alternative, can create a vision
compromise that may reduce visual acuity and depth perception for distance and
near tasks. During the fitting process, it is necessary for the patient to
realize the disadvantages as well as the advantages of clear near vision in
straight ahead and upward gaze that monovision contact lenses provide.
2. Eye Selection
Generally, the non-dominant eye is corrected for near vision. The following
test for eye dominance can be used.
A. Ocular Preference Determination Methods
Method 1 Determine which eye is the “sight eye.” Have the patient point to
an object at the far end of the room. Cover one eye. If the patient is still
pointing directly at the object, the eye being used is the dominant (sighting)
eye.
Method 2 Determine which eye will accept the added power with the least
reduction in vision. Place a trial spectacle near add lens in front of one eye
and then the other while the distance refractive error correction is in place
for both eyes. Determine whether the patient functions best with the near add
lens over the right or left eye.
B. Refractive Error Method
For anisometropic corrections, it is generally best to fit the more hyperopic
(less myopic) eye for distance and the more myopic (less hyperopic) eye for
near.
C. Visual Demands Method
Consider the patient’s occupation during the eye selection process to
determine the critical vision requirements. If a patient’s gaze for near tasks
is usually in one direction correct the eye on that side for near.
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C
Page 18 of 24 Revision Date: June 2024
Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
Example:
A secretary who places copy to the left side of the desk will usually function best with the near lens on the left eye.
3. Special Fitting Considerations
Unilateral Lens Correction: There are circumstances where only one contact lens is required. As an example, an emmetropic patient would only require a near lens while a bilateral myope may require only a distance lens.
Example:
A presbyopic emmetropic patient who requires a +1.75 diopter add would have a +1.75 lens on the near eye and the other left without a lens.
A presbyopic patient requiring a +1.50 diopter add who is 2.50 diopters myopic in the right eye and 1.50 diopters myopic in the left eye may have the right eye corrected for distance and the left uncorrected for near.
4. Near Add Determination
Always prescribe the lens power for the near eye that provides optimal near acuity at the midpoint of the patient’s habitual reading-distance. However, when more than one power provides optimal reading-performance, prescribe the least plus (most minus) of the powers.
5. Trial Lens Fitting
A trial fitting is performed in the office to allow the patient to experience monovision correction. Lenses are fit according to the directions in the general fitting guidelines and a base curve selection described in the earlier guide.
Case history and standard clinical evaluation procedure should be used to determine the prognosis. Determine which eye is to be corrected for distance and which eye is to be corrected for near. Next, determine the near add. With trial lenses of the proper power in place, observe the reaction to this mode of correction.
Immediately after the correct power lenses are in place, walk across the room and have the patient look at you. Assess the patient’s reaction to distance vision under these circumstances. Then have the patient look at familiar near objects, such as a watch face or fingernails. Again, assess the reaction. As the patient continues to look around the room at both near and distance objects, observe the reactions. Only after these vision tasks are completed should the patient be asked to read print. Evaluate the patient’s reaction to large print (e.g., typewritten copy) at first and then graduate to news print and finally smaller type sizes.
After the patient’s performance under the above conditions is completed, tests of visual acuity and reading ability under conditions of moderately dim illumination should be attempted.
An initial unfavorable response in the office, while indicative of a guarded prognosis, should not immediately rule out a more extensive trial under the usual conditions in which a patient functions.

6. Adaptation
Visually demanding situations should be avoided during the initial wearing
period. A patient may at first experience some mild blurred vision, dizziness,
headaches and a feeling of slight imbalance. You should explain the
adaptational symptoms to the patient. These symptoms may last for a brief
minute or for several weeks. The longer these symptoms persist, the poorer the
prognosis for successful adaptation.
To help in the adaptation process, the patient can be advised to first use the
lenses in a comfortable familiar environment such as in the home.
Some patients feel that automobile driving performance may not be optimal
during the adaptation process. This is particularly true when driving at
night. Before driving a motor vehicle, it may be recommended that the patient
be a passenger first to make sure that their vision is satisfactory for
operating an automobile. During the first several weeks of wear (when
adaptation is occurring), it may be advisable for the patient to only drive
during optimal driving conditions. After adaptation and success with these
activities, the patient should be able to drive under other conditions with
caution.
7. Other Suggestions
The success of the monovision technique may be further improved by having your
patient follow the suggestions below:
· Having a third contact lens (distance power) to use when critical distance
viewing is needed. · Having a third contact lens (near power) to use when
critical near viewing is needed. · Having supplemental spectacles to wear over
the monovision contact lenses for specific visual
tasks may improve the success of monovision correction. This is particularly
applicable for those patients who cannot meet state licensing requirements
with a monovision correction. · Make use of proper illumination when carrying
out visual tasks.
Success in fitting monovision can be improved by the following suggestions:
· Reverse the distance and near eyes if a patient is having trouble adapting.
· Refine the lens powers if there is trouble with adaptation. Accurate lens
power is critical for
presbyopic patients. · Emphasize the benefits of the clear near vision in
straight-ahead and upward gaze with
monovision.
Note: The decision to fit a patient with monovision correction is most
appropriately left to the Eye Care Practitioner in conjunction with the
patient after carefully considering the patient’s needs.

WEARING AND APPOINTMENT SCHEDULE
The wearing schedule should be determined by the prescribing Eye Care
Practitioner for each individual patient, based upon a full examination and
patient history as well as the practitioner’s experience and professional
judgement. Patients should be given a wearing schedule and carefully
instructed on the handling and care of their lenses as discussed in the
Package Insert. Also, be sure to complete the personal wearing/replacement
schedule record in the Patient Information Booklet. The lens must be removed,
cleaned, disinfected or disposed of and replaced with a new lens as determined
by the prescribing Eye Care Practitioner. (See the factors discussed in the
WARNINGS section.)
Follow-up examinations are necessary to ensure continued successful contact
lens wear and to ascertain the effects of the lenses on the eyes. The
following schedule is a suggested guideline for daily wear contact lenses:
· 24 hours post-dispensing · 7 days · 1 month · 3 months · every 6 months
thereafter
LENS APPLICATION AND REMOVAL
Eye Care Practitioners should carefully instruct patients about the following
lens care and safety precautions for application and removal of contact
lenses.
Handling Precautions:
· Always wash and rinse hands before handling lenses. Do not get cosmetics,
lotions, soaps, creams, deodorants, or sprays in the eyes or on the lenses. It
is best to put on lenses before putting on makeup.
· Advise the patient to always handle the same lens, the right or the left,
first in order to avoid mix-ups.
Lens Application:
Eye Care Practitioners should advise patients of the following steps when
applying their lenses:
1. Examine the lens to be sure it is moist, clean, clear and free of any
nicks or tears. 2. Make sure the lens is not turned inside out. Simply inspect
the lens to see if the edges turn
out. If they do, the lens is inside out. Should the lens be accidentally
placed on the eye inside-out, one of the following signs should signal that
the lens is to be removed and replaced correctly:
· Less than usual comfort · The lens folds on the eye · Excessive lens
movement on blink · Blurred vision
Part Number: PFG01044 Revision: C

Silicone Hydrogel 1 day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact Lenses with UV Blocker
Eye Care Practitioners should advise patients of the following technique for applying lenses:
One Hand Technique:
Place the lens on the index finger. Keeping the head up, look straight ahead, pull down the lower eyelid with the middle finger of the placement hand. Look up steadily at a point above. Then place the lens on the lower white part of the eye. Remove the index finger and slowly release the lower lid. Look down to position the lens properly. Close the eyes for a moment: the lens will center itself on the eye.
Two Hand Technique:
With the lens on the index finger, use the middle finger of the other hand to pull the upper lid against the brow. Use the middle finger of the placement hand to pull down the lower lid and then place the lens centrally on the eye. While holding this position, look downward to position the lens properly. Slowly release the eyelids.
If the lens feels uncomfortable, look in a mirror and gently place a finger on the edge of the contact lens and slowly slide the lens away from the nose while looking in the opposite direction. Then by blinking, the lens will re- center itself.
If after placement of the lens, the vision is blurred, check the following: a) Cosmetics or oils on the lens. Clean, rinse, disinfect and place on the eye again. b) The lens is on the wrong eye. c) The lens is inside-out (it would also not be as comfortable as normal).
Lens Removal
Eye Care Practitioners should advise patients that hands must be washed, rinsed and thoroughly dried with a lint free towel before removing lenses.
CAUTION: Always advise patients to be sure that the lens is in the correct position on the eye before trying to remove it (a sample check of the vision, closing one eye at a time, will tell the patient if the lens is in the correct position).
Instruct the patient to look up and slowly pull down the lower lid with the middle finger of the removal hand and place the index finger on the lower edge of the lens. Slide the lens down to the lower white part of the eye. Squeeze the lens lightly between the thumb and the index finger. Avoid sticking the edges of the lens together. Discard the worn lenses.

LENS CARE DIRECTIONS
1. Basic Lens Care Instructions
Eye Care Practitioners should review lens care directions with the patient,
including basic lens care information.
It is essential that patients understand and use good hygienic methods in the
care and handling of their new lenses. Cleanliness is the first and most
important aspect of proper contact lens care. In particular, hands should be
clean and free of any foreign substances when lenses are handled. The
procedures are:
· Always, wash, rinse and dry your hands before handling contact lenses. · Do
not use saliva or anything other than the recommended solutions for
lubricating or rewetting
lenses. Do not put lenses in your mouth. · Never rinse your lenses in water
from the tap. There are two reasons for this:
a. Tap water may contain impurities that can contaminate or damage your lenses
and may lead to eye infection or injury.
b. You might lose your lens down the drain.
For Single Use Daily Wear
Remember there is no cleaning or disinfection needed with the Silicone
Hydrogel 1 Day (somofilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Daily Disposable Contact
Lenses with UV Blocker prescribed for daily wear single use wear only. The
lenses are to be discarded upon removal, and have replacement lenses or
spectacles available.
2. Care for a Sticking (Non-Moving) Lens
If the lens stops moving or cannot be removed, you should instruct the patient
to apply a few drops of the recommended lubricating solution directly to your
eye and wait until the lens begins to move freely on the eye before removing
it. If non-movement of the lens continues, the patient is instructed to
immediately consult their Eye Care Practitioner.
3. Care for a Dehydrated Lens
If a soft, hydrophilic lens is exposed to air while off the eye, it may become
dry and brittle. If this happens, dispose of the lens and use a fresh one.
4. Emergencies
If chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratory
chemicals, etc.) are splashed into your eyes, you should: FLUSH EYES
IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER AND THEN REMOVE LENSES PROMPTLY. CONTACT YOUR EYE
CARE PRACTITIONER OR VISIT A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY.
