New EU Regulation to simplify UDI assignment for contact lenses

13 Nov

Written By MDRG

• The current system of assigning Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) to contact lenses is burdensome and inefficient.

• This regulation proposes a new system where contact lenses with the same clinical and design parameters will be grouped under the same UDI.

• This will simplify the process and make it more efficient.

• Manufacturers will need to update their systems and technologies to comply with the new regulation.

• The regulation will take effect on November 9, 2025.
