Fargo Ortho-K Contact Lens Recall Due to Missing FDA Approval
PARAGON VISION SCIENCES is recalling 18,820 Fargo Ortho-K contact lenses because they were manufactured without required FDA approval. Patients should contact their eye care provider.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Contact lenses are risk-of-harm medical devices. These lenses lack required FDA approval, meaning their safety and quality standards were not verified through regulatory review. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the unapproved status represents a theoretical risk-of-harm situation.
