Title: Contact Lens Devices; Designation of Special Controls for Daily Wear Contact Lenses 
Abstract:

FDA is proposing in this rulemaking to designate special controls for daily wear contact lenses in order to address by regulation our current understanding of the risks to health for these devices, which were originally reclassified from class III (premarket approval) into class II (special controls) in 1994.  The proposed special controls will reflect the Agency's current guidance and review practice for daily wear contact lenses.
