 SILSOFT® (elastofilcon A) Contact Lenses Product Update

 Dear Eye Care Professional, 

This is to inform that as of September 2021, Bausch + Lomb will no longer offer SILSOFT® (elastofilcon A) contact lenses in Hong Kong. Due to a combination of supplier changes, obsolescence of a critical component and regulatory requirements, we have been compelled to discontinue the product. Together with industry experts, we investigated all possible alternatives. Regrettably, none of these options were able to meet the needs of Medical Device Regulation.
Our SILSOFT® lenses will remain on the market until the existing stock has been depleted, which we expect could occur by September 2021. While we are discontinuing the product, we are continuing to pursue options that may allow us to provide you with these lenses in the future. However, this would take time as it would need to go through appropriate tests, approval from U.S. FDA and local health authority before we can supply the market locally.
Based on our records, you have been fitting SILSOFT® contact lenses for your patients. I felt it is appropriate to notify you at this stage to allow you to begin to transition your patients.
Bausch + Lomb is deeply committed to providing the highest quality of products and service, and I regret the inconvenience that this discontinuation may cause for you and your patients. If you have any questions, please contact your Bausch + Lomb sales representative or our Customer Service team at 2567 9909.
It is our greatest privilege and honor to serve you and your patients with our eye health portfolio, and we thank you for your support and understanding. 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Jeff Ho
