Inclusion criteria

  • Normal eyes with no use of ocular medications.
  • Be of legal age of consent and sign Informed Consent document. If under legal age of consent, legally authorized representative must sign Informed Consent document and subject must sign Assent document.
  • Willing and able to wear spherical contact lenses for protocol-specified timeframe within the available range of powers (-1.00 D to -6.00D in 0.25D steps).
  • Visual acuity with study lenses 20/25 or better.
  • Cylinder less than or equal to 0.75 D.
  • Currently wearing daily disposable lenses.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Anterior segment infection, inflammation, or abnormality.
  • Any active anterior segment ocular disease that would contraindicate contact lens wear.
  • Any use of systemic medications for which contact lens wear could be contraindicated as determined by the investigator.
  • History of refractive surgery or irregular cornea.
  • Eye injury within twelve weeks immediately prior to enrollment for this trial.
  • Currently enrolled in any clinical trial.
  • Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Corrected Distance Monocular Visual Measurement Reported as Visual Acuity (VA)

    As tested for each eye individually while wearing study lenses. VA was measured using a Snellen chart, which was converted into logMAR units (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution). A 20/20 Snellen acuity equated to a logMAR acuity of 0.0 and was considered normal distance eyesight. Positive logMAR values indicated poorer vision, and negative values denoted better visual acuity.

    Time frame: 1 week of wear, replacing lenses daily

  2. Overall Comfort

    As interpreted by the participant and recorded on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 1 week of wear time. Overall comfort was evaluated binocularly and rated on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Time frame: 1 week of wear, replacing lenses daily

  3. Overall Vision Quality

    As interpreted by the participant and recorded on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 1 week of wear time. Overall vision quality was evaluated binocularly and rated on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Time frame: 1 week of wear, replacing lenses daily

  4. Overall Handling

    As interpreted by the participant and recorded on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 1 week of wear time. Overall handling was evaluated binocularly and rated on a 10-point scale, with 1 being difficult and 10 being easy.

    Time frame: 1 week of wear, replacing lenses daily

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Lens Fit

    As assessed for each eye individually by the investigator using a biomicroscope, which magnifies the appearance of the contact lens on the participant's eye. Lens fit is reported on a 5-point scale, with 2=unacceptably loose, 1=acceptably loose, 0=optimal, -1=acceptably tight, and -2=unacceptably tight.

    Time frame: 1 week of wear, replacing lenses daily
