INTRODUCTION
The Frequency™ 55 Toric Contact Lenses are made from a plastic, methafilcon B, which has the ability to absorb
water (hydrophilic), making it soft and pliable, unlike conventional hard lenses. Your lenses may feel comfortable
from the first insertion. You are cautioned, however, to follow the wearing schedule prescribed for you. Do not try
to speed up the adaptation process by over-wearing the lenses simply because they remain comfortable.
Your eye care practitioner will review with you the instructions for proper hygiene, handling, cleaning, disinfection
and storage of your contact lenses. You will be instructed on proper lens insertion and removal. If you are in doubt
about any instruction, request clarification fromyour eye care practitioner.
Carefully read and follow specific directions and use for important safety information for each lens care product.
Discard the lens if the lens becomes damaged or you have reached the prescribed wearing period recommended
by your eye care practitioner. You should always have replacement lensesor glasses available.
For your eye health, it is important to wear your lenses as prescribed by your eye care practitioner. It is also
important to keep your eye care practitionerfully aware ofyour medical history. Your eye care practitioner will tailor
a total program of care based on your specific needs. He or she will review with you all instructions for lens
handling, including howto safely and easily open the package.
Benefits
Contact lenses provide vision correction.
If you lead an active lifestyle, contacts can provide:
•Close to natural vision
•Excellent peripheralvision for sports and driving
•Advantages for athletes and those with an active lifestyle
If your work or play in an environment in which glasses are not an option, contact lenses are an alternative.
If you preferthe way you look without glasses, contact lenses can provide ease, and convenience.
Risks
Wearing contact lenses puts you at risk of several serious conditions including eye infections and cornealulcers.
These conditions can develop very quicklyand can be very serious. In rare cases, these conditions can cause
blindness. Other risks of contact lenses include pink eye (conjunctivitis), corneal abrasions and eye irritation. For
further detail, see WARNINGS and ADVERSE REACTIONS.
WEARING RESTRICTIONS AND INDICATIONS
The Frequency™ 55 Toric Contact Lenses are indicated for daily wear as recommended by the eye care
practitioner. They are indicated for the correction of visual acuity in aphakic and not-aphakic persons with non-
diseased eyesthat are myopic, hyperopic and have astigmatism of 12.00 diopters orless.
Eye care practitioners may prescribe the lens for frequent replacement wear, with cleaning, disinfection, and
scheduled replacement (see WEARING SCHEDULE). The lens may be disinfected by chemical (not heat) only.
DO NOT WEAR YOUR CONTACT LENSES WHILE SLEEPING UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY YOUR

CONTRAINDICATIONS (Reasons Not To Use)
Frequency 55 ToricContact Lenses are contraindicated by the presence of any of the following conditions:
• Acute and sub-acute inflammation or infection of the anterior chamber of the eye (between the lens and iris
and cornea).
• Any eye disease, injury or abnormality which affects the cornea, conjunctiva or eyelids.
• Any active corneal infection (bacteria, fungal or viral).
• Insufficiency of lacrimal secretion (dry eyes).
• Corneal hypoesthesia (reduce cornealsensitivity), if not aphakic.
• Any systemic disease which may affect the eye or be exaggerated by wearing contactlenses.
• Allergic reactions of ocular surfaces or adnexa that may be induced or exaggerated by wearing contact
lenses or use of contact lens solutions.
• Allergyto any ingredient, such as mercury or thimerosal, in the solutionsnecessary for care of the lenses.
• The patient is unable to follow lenscare regimen or unable to obtain assistance to do so.
WARNINGS
You should be advised of the following warnings pertaining to contact lens wear:
•Problems with contact lenses and lens care products could result in serious injury to the eye. It is essential
that you follow your eye care practitioner's direction and all labeling instructions for proper use of lenses and
lens care products, including the lens case. Fill your lens case with fresh solution every time you store your
lenses, and never re-use solution. Additionally, you should clean and rinse your lens case between uses as
recommended by your eye care practitioner. Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapidly and
lead to loss of vision.
•The risk of serious adverse reactions has been shown to be greater among users of extended wear lenses
than among users of daily wear lenses. The risk among extended wear lens users increases with the number
of consecutive days that the lenses are worn between removals,beginning with the first overnight use.
•Studies have shown that contact lens wearers who are smokers have a higher incidence of adverse reactions
than nonsmokers.
•If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes or redness of the eye, you should
immediately remove your lenses and promptly contact your eye care practitioner.

PERSONAL CLEANLINESS FOR LENS HANDLING
1. Preparing the Lens for Wearing:
It is essential that you learn and use good hygienic methods in the care and handling of your new lenses.
Cleanliness is the first and most important aspect of proper contact lens care. In particular, your hands
should be clean and free of any foreign substance when you handle your lenses. The procedures are:
• Always wash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap, rinse completely and dry with a lint-free
towel before touching yourlenses.
• Avoid the use of soaps containing cold cream, lotion or oily cosmetics before handling your lenses,
since these substances may come into contact with the lenses and interfere with successful
wearing.
• Handle your lenses with your fingertips and be careful to avoid contactwith fingernails. It ishelpful
to keep your fingernails short and smooth.
Start off correctly by getting into the habit of always using proper hygienic procedures so that they become
automatic.
2. Handling the Lenses:
• Develop the habit of always working with the same lensfirst to avoid mixups.
• Remove the lens from its storage case and examine it to be sure that it is moist, clean, clear and

Part Number: PIB01018 Page 8 of 15
Revision B Revision Date: January 2018
free of any nicks or tears.
3. Placing the Lens on the Eye:
• Check to be sure the lens is not inside out. Look at the profile of the lens edge against a light
background. If the edge profile appearsconvex and bowl shaped, the lens iscorrect side out. If the
lens edges tend to point outward, the lens is inside out, simply turn it right-side out by using light
fingertip pressure.
• The lens should be positioned on the tip of the index finger of your dominant hand. With the middle
finger of the same hand, pull the lower eyelid down. Use the middle finger of the other hand to
gently raise the upper eye lid by lifting the lid above the eyelashes.
• With the lens still on the tip of the index finger, hold the head straight and look up as far as
possible.Gently place the lens onto the lowerwhite part of your eye.
• Look down and slowly release the upper and lower lids. Close the eye, then open them slowly.
The lens should center automatically.
• Repeat the above procedure for the other lens.
There are other methods of lens placement. If the method described in this manual is difficult for you, your
eye care practitioner will provide you with an alternate method.
Note: If after placement of the lens, your vision isblurred, check forthe following:
• The lens is not centered on the eye (see Centering the Lenssection).
• If the lens is centered, remove the lens and check the following:
• Cosmetics or oils on the lens. Clean,rinse, disinfect and place the lens on the eye again.
• The lens is on the wrong eye.
• The lens is inside out.
4. Centering the Lens
It is infrequent that a lens which is on the cornea will be displaced onto the white part of the eye during
wear. However, this can easily occur of the insertion and removal procedures are not performed properly.
To center the lens, follow one of the procedures below:
• Close your eyelids and gently massage the lens into place through the closed lids, using your
index finger.
• Gently push the off-centered lens onto the cornea while the eye is open, using finger pressure on
the edge of the upper or lower eyelid.

Part Number: PIB01018 Page 9 of 15
Revision B Revision Date: January 2018
5. Removing the Lens
CAUTION: Always be sure that the lens is centered on the cornea before attempting to remove it. Determine this
by covering the other eye.If the vision is blurred, the lenses iseither on the white part of the eye or it is not on the
eye at all. To locate the lens, inspect the upper area ofthe eye by looking down into a mirror while pulling the upper
lid up. Then,inspect the lower area by pulling the lowerlid down.
Wash, rinse, and dryyour hands thoroughly with mild soap, rinse completely,and dry with a lint-free towelbefore
touching lenses. Have yourstorage container orcarrying case ready to put the lenses in upon removal.
• Look straight ahead and up slightly. With the middle finger of your dominant hand, pull the lower
eyelid down slightly.
• Gently pinch the lens between the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand.
• Gently pull the lens away from the eye.
• Repeat the above procedure for the other lens.
• Clean, rinse and disinfect the lenses using the method recommended by your eye care
practitioner.
NOTE:If this method of removing your lenses is difficult for you, your eye care practitioner will provide you
with an alternate method.
CARING FOR YOUR LENSES
Basic Instructions
For continued safe and comfortable wearing of your lenses, it is important that you first clean and rinse, then
disinfect your lenses after each removal, using the care regimen recommended by your eye care practitioner.
Cleaning and rinsing are necessary to remove mucus, secretions, films or deposits which may have accumulated
during wearing. The ideal time to clean your lenses is immediately after removing them. Disinfecting is necessary
to destroy harmful germs.
You should adhere to a recommended care regimen. Failure to follow the regimen may result in development of
serious ocular complications as discussed in the WARNINGS section.
If you require only vision correction, but will not or cannot adhere to a recommended care regimen for your lenses,
or are unable to insert and remove lenses or have someone available to insert and remove them, you should not
attempt to get and wear contact lenses.
For safe contact lens wear, you should know and always practice your lens care routine:
•Alwayswash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap.Rinse completely. Dry hands with a lint-free
towel before handling yourcontact lenses.

CARE FOR A STICKING (NON-MOVING) LENS
If the lens sticks (stops moving) on the eye, apply 2-3 drops of the recommended sterile lubrication or rewetting
solution. Wait until the lens begins to move freely on your eye before removing it. If non-movement of the lens
continues, immediately consult youreye care practitioner.
CHEMICAL (NOT HEAT) DISINFECTION
•Clean your contact lenses with a recommended cleaning solution and thoroughly rinse them with a
recommended rinsing solution.
•After cleaning, to disinfect, carefully follow the instructions accompanying the disinfection solution in the
care regimen recommended by the lens manufacturer oryour eye care practitioner.
• When using hydrogen peroxide lens care systems, the lenses must be neutralized before wearing. Follow
the recommendations on the hydrogen peroxide systemlabeling.
• Thoroughly rinse your lenses with a fresh solution recommended for rinsing before inserting or wearing, or
follow the instructions on the disinfection solution labeling.
•Do not heat disinfect your lenses. Repeated heat disinfection will cause irreversible damage to
your lenses.
• Leave the lenses in the unopened storage case untilready to put on your eyes.
• Caution: Lenses that are chemically disinfected may absorb ingredients from the disinfecting solution
which may be irritation to the eyes. A thorough rinse in fresh sterile saline solution prior to placement on
the eye should reduce the potentialfor irritation.
LENS DEPOSITS AND USE OF ENZYMATIC CLEANING PROCEDURE
Enzyme cleaning may be recommended by your eye care practitioner. Enzyme cleaning removes protein deposits
on the lens. These deposits cannot be removed with regular cleaners. Removing protein deposits is important for
the well-being of your lenses and eyes. If these deposits are not removed, they can damage the lenses and cause
irritation.
Enzyme cleaning DOES NOT replace routine cleaning and disinfecting. for enzyme cleaning, you should carefully
follow the instructions in the enzymatic cleaning labeling.
LENS CASE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Contact lens cases can be a source of bacteria growth. Lens cases should be emptied, cleaned, rinsed with
solutions recommended by the lens case manufacturer and allowed to air dry. The lens cases should be replaced
at regularintervals as recommended bythe lens case manufacturer or bythe eye care practitioner.

Revision B Revision Date: January 2018
CARE FOR A DRIED OUT (DEHYDRATED) LENS
If any Frequency 55 Toric Contact Lens is left off the eye and exposed to air for 30 minutes or longer, it will
become dry and brittle (dehydrated) the lens carefully. Place the lens in its storage case and SOAK the lens in the
recommended rinsing and storage solutions for at least 30 minutes. Soak the lens until it returns to a soft state.
Clean and disinfect the rehydrated lens using the lens care system recommended by the manufacturer or eye care
practitioner. If after soaking, the lens does not become soft, DO NOTUSE THE LENS.
EMERGENCIES
If chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratorychemicals, etc.) are splashed into
your eyes, FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE EYE CARE
PRACTITIONER OR VISIT A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY.
Instructions for the Monovision Wearer
•Monovision: a treatment technique often prescribed for people age 40 and over who have presbyopia.
Presbyopia occurs as part of the natural aging process. The eye’s crystalline loses its ability to bring close
objects into clear focus. Monovision means wearing a contact lens for near vision on one eye and, if needed, a
lens for distance vision on the othereye.
The decision to be fit with a monovision correction is made by careful consideration of your needs with your
eye care practitioner.
•You should be aware that, as with any type of lens correction, there are advantages and compromises to
monovision contact lens therapy. The benefit of clear near vision in straight ahead and upward gaze that is
available with monovision may be accompanied by a vision compromise that mayreduce your visualacuity and
depth perception for distance and near tasks. Some patients have experienced difficulty adapting to it.
Symptoms, such as mild blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and a feeling of slight imbalance, may last for a
brief minute or several weeks as adaptation takes place. The longer these symptoms persist, the poorer your
prognosis for successful adaptation. You should avoid visually demanding situations during the initial
adaptation period. It is recommended that you first wear these contact lenses in familiar situations, which are
not visually demanding. For example, it might be better to be a passenger rather than a driverof an automobile
during the first few days of lens wear. It is recommended that you only drive with monovision correction if you
pass your state drivers license requirementswith monovision correction.
•Some monovision patients will never be fully comfortable functioning under low levels of illumination, such as
driving at night. If this happens, you may want to discuss with your eye care practitioner having additional
contact lenses prescribed so that both eyes are corrected for distance when sharp distance binocular vision is
required.
If you require very sharp near vision during prolonged close work, you may want to have additional contact
lenses prescribed so that both eyes are corrected for nearwhen sharp near binocular vision is required.
•Some monovision patients require supplemental spectacles to wear over the monovision correction to provide
the clearest vision for criticaltasks. You should discuss this with your eye care practitioner.
•It is important that you follow your eye care practitioner's suggestions for adaptation to monovisioncontact lens
therapy. You should discuss any concerns that you may have during and after the adaptation period.
