What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Lens Awareness

    Lens awareness, as interpreted by the subject, was reported by the subject as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 week's wear time. Frequency of lens awareness was measured on a 4-point scale, with 1 being never and 4 being all the time. Four-week ratings were compared to baseline ratings, and a negative difference (4-week minus baseline) represented an improvement.

    Time frame: 4 weeks of wear
