As eye care technologies continue to evolve, regulatory oversight has become increasingly important to ensure product safety, performance, and patient protection.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In India, ophthalmic medical devices classified under Class C and Class D are subject to strict regulatory control by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization under the Medical Devices Rules (MDR) 2017.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following recent regulatory updates, manufacturers and importers of Class C and D ophthalmic medical devices must now obtain mandatory manufacturing or import licenses instead of simple registrations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This comprehensive guide explains ophthalmic medical device
