|---|---|---|
| Slit Lamp Findings (SLF) | Up to 3 months Post Lens Wear | Slit Lamp Findings were assessed for each subject eye at baseline, 1-day, 1-week, 2-week, 1-month and 3-month follow-up evaluations. SLF consisted of Edema, Corneal Neovascularization, Cornela Staining, Injection, Tarsal Abnormalities and Other findings; each was graded on a 5-likert Scale (Grade: None, Grade 1: Trace, Grade 2: Mild, Grade 3: Moderate and Grade 4: Severe). The number of eyes with Grade 2 or higher across all time points for each SLF variable was reported. |
| Distance Visual Acuity (LogMAR) | Up to 3 Months Post Lens Wear | Distance Visual Acuity (LogMAR) was assessed for each subject eye at 1-week, 2-week, 1-month and 3-month follow-up evaluations. The average Visual Acuity (LogMAR) for each time point and lens was reported. |

Recruitment details
A total of 315 subjects were enrolled in this study. Of the enrolled subjects 20 did not meet the eligibility criteria and 295 subjects were randomized to treatment.Of the randomized subjects 16 were discontinued from the study, while 279 completed the study.
Pre-assignment details
Allocation of subjects to the 5 contact lenses was fairly balanced ranging from 57 to 61 subjects per lens, while the allocation of subjects to solution was 2:1 for the test and control solution respectively.

Slit Lamp Findings (SLF)
Slit Lamp Findings were assessed for each subject eye at baseline, 1-day, 1-week, 2-week, 1-month and 3-month follow-up evaluations. SLF consisted of Edema, Corneal Neovascularization, Cornela Staining, Injection, Tarsal Abnormalities and Other findings; each was graded on a 5-likert Scale (Grade: None, Grade 1: Trace, Grade 2: Mild, Grade 3: Moderate and Grade 4: Severe). The number of eyes with Grade 2 or higher across all time points for each SLF variable was reported.
