Inclusion criteria

  • The subject must be at least 18 years of age and no more than 39 years of age.
  • The subject is a current spherical soft contact lens wearer (defined as a minimum of 6 hours of daily wear (DW) for a minimum of 1 month prior to the study) and willing to wear the study lenses on a daily wear basis (defined as a minimum of 6 hours of wear per day at least five days of the week) for the duration of the study.
  • The subject's optimal vertexed spherical equivalent distance correction must be between -1.00 and - 9.00D.
  • Any cylinder power must be ≤ -0.75D.
  • The subject must have visual acuity best correctable to 20/25+3 or better for each eye.
  • The subject must read and sign the Statement of Informed Consent.
  • The subject must appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Ocular or systemic allergies or disease which might interfere with contact lens wear.
  • Systemic disease or use of medication which might interfere with contact lens wear.
  • Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, or any other abnormalities of the cornea which would contraindicate contact lens wear.
  • Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection which might interfere with contact lens wear.
  • Any ocular infection.
  • Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear.
  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Diabetes.
  • Infectious diseases (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or an immuno-suppressive disease (e.g. HIV).
  • Habitual contact lens type is toric, multifocal, or is worn as extended wear.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Lens Front Surface Deposits at Day 7

    Deposits on the front surface of each lens were examined by the investigator after 7 days of lens wear, and graded on a 5-point scale; 0 = no deposit, 1 = 1%-5% deposits, 2 = 6%-15% deposits, 3 = 16%-25% deposits, and 4 = 25% or more deposits. The grades were categorized into binary variable: grade 0 or 1 Vs. grade 2 or higher.

    Time frame: Evaluated at Day 7

  2. Lens Front Surface Deposits at Day 14

    Deposits on the front surface of each lens were examined by the investigator after 14 days of lens wear, and graded on a 5-point scale; 0 = 0% deposits, 1 = 1%-5% deposits, 2 = 6%-15% deposits, 3=16%-25% deposits, and 4= 25% or more deposits. The grades were categorized into binary variable: grade 0 or 1 vs. grade 2 or higher.

    Time frame: Evaluated at Day 14

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subject Reported Overall Lens Comfort at Day 7

    The overall lens comfort was assessed at Day 7 using the Contact Lens User Experience (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft, disposable contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging)in a contact lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Scores follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable /positive response. 97% of the scores fall within 0 and 120 (mean +/-3\*SD).

    Time frame: Evaluated at Day 7

  2. Subject Reported Overall Lens Comfort at Day 14

    The overall lens comfort was assessed at Day 14 using the CLUE questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft, disposable contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging)in a contact lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Scores follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable /positive response. 97% of the scores fall within 0 and 120 (mean +/-3\*SD).
