Cooper Vision Recalls ProClear Toric Contact Lenses for Axis Defect
Cooper Vision is recalling ProClear Toric contact lenses because routine quality monitoring found that some lots were manufactured with the cylinder axis outside allowable specifications.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The defect is a manufacturing specification issue (cylinder axis) rather than a direct safety hazard like contamination or structural failure, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
