眼镜产品定义与FDA监管要求
Definition and FDA Regulations for Eyewear Products
眼镜是镶嵌在框架内的透镜镜片，用于改善视力、保护眼睛或装饰用途。可矫正近视、远视、散光等多种视力问题。
Eyeglasses are lens devices mounted in frames, worn in front of eyes to improve vision, provide protection or for decorative purposes. They can correct various vision problems including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc.
FDA认证必要性
Why FDA Certification is Mandatory
眼镜（除隐形眼镜）包括太阳镜属于医疗器械I类产品，必须办理FDA注册（510k豁免类型）。清关时还需提供FDA滴珠测试证明（21 CFR 801.410标准）。
Eyeglasses (excluding contact lenses) including sunglasses are classified as Class I medical devices requiring FDA registration (510k exempt). Import clearance additionally requires FDA drop ball test certification (21 CFR 801.410 standard).
关键测试：落球测试
Critical Test: Drop Ball Test
将钢球从规定高度落在镜片凸面检测抗冲击性。测试时需用夹具固定镜架。制造商需同时提供FDA注册号和批次质检文件。
A steel ball is dropped from specified height onto lens convex surface to test impact resistance. Frames must be clamped during testing. Manufacturers must provide both FDA registration number and batch quality certificates.
