What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. questionnaire addressing subjective comfort and wear time

    Subjects rated on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 was 'poor' and 10 was 'excellent'.

    Time frame: subjects will be followed-up for one month

  2. limbal redness - ocular biomicroscopy

    Assessed using slit lamp with white light, low-medium magnification. Graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe.

    Time frame: subjects will be followed-up for one month

  3. conjunctival redness - ocular biomicroscopy

    Assessed using slit lamp with white light, low-medium magnification. Graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe.

    Time frame: subjects will be followed-up for one month

  4. corneal staining - ocular biomicroscopy

    Assessed using slit lamp with white light, low-medium magnification. Graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe.

    Time frame: subjects will be followed-up for one month
