The Cooper Companies contact lenses unit CooperVision expanded a recall of some of its Avaira brand lenses. Under the expanded recall, CooperVision is now including limited lots of Avaira Sphere contact lenses, in addition to limited units of Avaira Toric lenses.
Cooper, along with the FDA, found certain lots of Avaira Sphere lenses did not meet new quality requirements linked to silicone oil residue levels, and plans to replace them with available inventory.
