Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 2, 2019, the Company received a letter dated May 2, 2019 from the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The FDA advised the Company it had completed an initial scientific review of the Company’s premarket approval application (PMA) supplement regarding EVO/EVO+ Visian Implantable Collamer Lens for Myopia and EVO/EVO+ Visian Toric Implantable Collamer Lens for Myopia with Astigmatism. The FDA advised the Company that its PMA supplement lacked information, particularly the clinical evidence and analysis, that would permit the completion of the review and determination of whether there is a reasonable assurance of the device’s safety and effectiveness for its intended use. The Company expects to continue discussions with the FDA, including discussing the FDA’s concerns with the existing PMA supplement and any new clinical data that may be required.
