Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the visual performance of DAILIES® Aqua Comfort Plus® (DACP) MF contact lens using new objective measurements.

Read the detailed description

In this 3-treatment, 3-period, 6-sequence crossover study, each subject received all 3 products in randomized order and used 1 product at a time for a duration of 5±1 days before switching to the next assigned product.

Inclusion criteria

  • History of soft contact lens wear (hydrogel or silicone hydrogel) in both eyes during the past 3 months and able to wear lenses at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current multifocal contact lens wearer
  • Current monovision wearer or failed attempt with monovision

  • Prior refractive surgery (e.g. LASIK, PRK, etc)
  • Monocular (only 1 eye with functional vision) or fit with only 1 lens

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Area for Each Region (Near and Intermediate) Under the Mean Defocus Curve (AUC) at High Luminance

    Visual acuity was measured with contact lenses in place using an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) high contrast logMAR chart under well-lit conditions. Lenses of different spherical powers (+2.00 diopter to -5.00 diopter) were placed in front of the eyes to produce varying levels of defocus, and logMAR acuity at each defocus value was recorded. The area under the defocus curve (AUC) was calculated via the trapezoidal rule for the entire study population by treatment using a 0.3 logMAR threshold for intermediate from -2.00 D (50cm) to -0.50 D (2m) and near from -4.00 D (25cm) to -2.00 D (50cm). A higher value indicates a bigger area of focus. This outcome measure was prespecified for monovision and DACP MF.

Adverse events

Collected over Adverse events (AEs) were collected for the duration of a subject's participation in the study (up to 19 days). This analysis group includes all subjects exposed to any investigational product evaluated in this study, based on treatment-specific exposure.. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.
