CooperVision Softmed Breathables Advanced Toric contact lenses recalled for incorrect extended-wear labeling

FALSE CLAIMSNationwide distributionMedical devices

What this means

Certain batches of CooperVision Softmed Breathables Advanced Toric contact lenses have incorrect packaging labels stating they are approved for extended wear. These lenses are designed and FDA-approved for daily wear only, not extended wear. The mislabeling could lead users to wear the lenses longer than intended.

  • Check your contact lens box for a lot number matching the affected batches (listed on FDA.gov).
  • If your lenses are affected, use them only for daily wear—remove them each night.
  • Contact CooperVision or your eye care provider if you have questions about your lenses.
  • Do not use affected lenses for overnight or extended wear.
