FDA has cleared a Johnson & Johnson Vision Care 510(k) for the first contact lens to incorporate an additive that automatically darkens the lens when exposed to bright light. The Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses with Transitions Light Intelligent Technology are indicated for daily use to correct the vision of people with non-diseased eyes who are nearsighted or farsighted. “They can be used by people with certain degrees of astigmatism, an abnormal curvature of the eye,” an agency [release](https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm604263.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says.  
  
Clearance was based on scientific evidence, including a clinical study of 24 patients that evaluated daytime and nighttime driving performance while wearing the lenses, the agency says. “The results of the study demonstrated there was no evidence of concerns with either driving performance or vision while wearing the lenses,” it says. “Patients with the following conditions should not use these contact lenses: inflammation or infection in or around the eye or eyelids; any eye disease, injury or abnormality that affects the cornea, conjunctiva (the mucous membrane that covers the front of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids) or eyelids; any previously diagnosed condition that makes contact lens wear uncomfortable; severe dry eye; reduced corneal sensitivity; any systemic disease that may affect the eye or be made worse by wearing contact lenses; allergic reactions on the surface of the eye or surrounding tissues that may be induced or made worse by wearing contact lenses or use of contact lens solutions; any active eye infection or red or irritated eyes.”
