CooperVision Sofmed Breathables^® Contact Lens Recall

We have initiated a recall of a limited number of Sofmed Breathables and Sofmed Breathables Toric contact lenses after discovering reports of wearers experiencing hazy vision and discomfort. Some patients reported severe eye pain or eye injuries requiring medical treatment. Not everyone experiences the same symptoms.

If you experience hazy vision or unusual discomfort with your Sofmed Breathables lenses, please remove your lenses immediately and contact your eye care practitioner. You can check to see if your lenses are part of the limited recall by checking the lot number as indicated below. If your lenses are affected even if you’re not experiencing symptoms please contact your eye care professional.

What happened?

The recall was initiated due to the level of a residue on certain Sofmed Breathables lenses.

CooperVision has more than 30 years of experience manufacturing high quality contact lenses, and we take our consumers’ eye health and safety very seriously.
