KUALA LUMPUR: The Medical Device Authority (MDA) received 48 complaints about the sale, advertising and marketing of unlicensed optical devices and contact lenses since the ban on online sales came into effect in March.
Its chief executive, Dr P Muralitharan, said that all medical devices, including optical devices and contact lenses, are controlled under the Medical Devices Act (Act 737), which requires them to be registered and evaluated by the MDA and the Malaysian Optical Council to verify their safety.
