Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Ocular anterior segment infection, inflammation, abnormality, or active disease that would contraindicate contact lens wear 2. Newly prescribed use of some systemic or ocular medications for which contact lens wear could be contraindicated as determined by the investigator 3.

Any moderate or severe ocular condition observed during the slit-lamp examination at the enrolment visit 5. History of herpetic keratitis, ocular surgery or irregular cornea 6. Known pregnancy or lactation during the study period 7. Enrolment of the investigator or his/her staff, family members of the investigator, family members of the investigator’s staff, or individuals living in the households of these individuals
