Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* The subject must be at least 18 years of age and no more than 39 years of age. * The subject is a current spherical soft contact lens wearer and willing to wear the study lenses on a daily wear basis for the duration of the study (minimum of 6 hours per day). * The subject's optimal vertexed spherical equivalent distance correction must be between -1.00 and - 5.00D. * Any cylinder power must be ≤ -0.75D. * The subject must have visual acuity best correctable to 20/25+3 or better for each eye. * The subject must read and sign the Statement of Informed Consent. * The subject must appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol.
Exclusion criteria
* Ocular or systemic allergies or disease which might interfere with contact lens wear. * Systemic disease or use of medication which might interfere with contact lens wear. * Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, or any other abnormalities of the cornea which would contraindicate contact lens wear. * Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection which might interfere with contact lens wear. * Any ocular infection. * Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear. * Pregnancy or lactation. * Diabetes. * Infectious diseases (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or an immuno-suppressive disease (e.g. HIV). * Habitual contact lens type is toric, multifocal, or is worn as extended wear.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Acuity (VA) | 6-8 days after lens wear | Snellen VA was measured to the nearest letter then converted to the logMAR scale for the analysis. Values \< 0 imply a clinically positive result; while values \> 0 infer a clinically negative result. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Corneal Staining | 6-8 days after lens wear | Corneal staining type was assessed by Investigator using a slit lamp and graded on a 5-point scale; 0=none, 1=trace, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe. |
| Limbal Redness | 6-8 days after lens wear | Limbal redness was assessed by using a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=trace, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe. |
| Bulbar Redness | 6-8 days after lens wear | Scale of 0 increasing to 4. 0=None, 4=Severe Redness |

Outcome results
Visual Acuity (VA)
Snellen VA was measured to the nearest letter then converted to the logMAR scale for the analysis. Values \< 0 imply a clinically positive result; while values \> 0 infer a clinically negative result.
Time frame: 6-8 days after lens wear
Population: Population analyzed are those who were enrolled, randomized, and completed the study.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acuvue Advance Plus preQ | Visual Acuity (VA) | -0.088 logMAR scale | Standard Deviation 0.0328 |
| Acuvue Advance Plus postQ | Visual Acuity (VA) | -0.083 logMAR scale | Standard Deviation 0.0377 |
Bulbar Redness
Scale of 0 increasing to 4. 0=None, 4=Severe Redness
