Brief summary

The purpose of this 4-week dispensing trial is to evaluate and compare an investigational soft contact lens worn on a daily disposable basis with three other soft contact lenses also worn on a daily disposable basis.

Interventions

DEVICELotrafilcon B contact lens (O2 OPTIX, AIR OPTIX)

Commercially marketed silicone hydrogel, single vision contact lens for daily wear, daily disposable use

DEVICENelfilcon A contact lens (DAILIES AquaComfort Plus)

Commercially marketed hydrogel, single vision contact lens for daily wear, daily disposable use

DEVICENarafilcon A contact lens (1-DAY ACUVUE TRUEYE)

Commercially marketed (Europe) silicone hydrogel, single vision contact lens for daily wear, daily disposable use

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Average Daily Wear Time4 weeksAverage daily wear time (hours) was reported by the participant as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear.
Vision Quality During the Day4 weeksVision quality during the day was assessed and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Vision quality during the day was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
Overall Handling4 weeksOverall handling was assessed and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Overall handling was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
Dryness Throughout the Day4 weeksDryness throughout the day was assessed and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Dryness throughout the day was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very dry and 10 being not dry.
Overall Comfort4 weeksOverall comfort was assessed and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Overall comfort was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Corrected Visual Acuity4 weeksCorrected visual acuity was tested for each eye while the participant read distant charts in normal lighting. Corrected visual acuity was measured with a Snellen chart, which was converted into logMAR units (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution). A 20/20 Snellen acuity equates to a logMAR acuity of 0.0 and is considered normal distance eyesight. Positive logMAR values indicate poorer vision, and negative values denote better visual acuity.
Overall Satisfaction4 weeksOverall satisfaction was recorded on a 5-point Likert scale as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. The following scale was used: 2=very satisfied, 1=somewhat satisfied, 0=neither, -1=somewhat dissatisfied, and -2=very dissatisfied.
Lens Fit4 weeksLens fit was assessed by the investigator for each eye using a biomicroscope, which magnifies the appearance of the contact lens on the participant's eye. Lens fit was graded on a 5-point scale, with 2=unacceptable loose, 1=acceptable loose, 0=optimal, -1=acceptable tight, and -2=unacceptable tight.
