Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Be of legal age (i.e. ≥ 18 years). * Be mentally competent, willing and able to sign a written informed consent form. * Have contact lens distance sphere requirement in the range -1.00D to -6.00D. * Have spectacle astigmatism \<1.25D in each eye. * Currently wear soft contact lenses (for at least 6 months prior to the trial) with documentation of current prescription. * Have normal eyes with no evidence of abnormality or disease. For the purpose of this study a normal eye is defined as one having: i) no evidence of lid abnormality or infection; ii) no conjunctival abnormality or infection; iii) no clinically significant slit lamp findings (i.e, edema, staining, scarring, vascularization, infiltrates or abnormal opacities); iv) no other active ocular disease.
Exclusion criteria
* Required concurrent ocular medication. * Any systemic illness which would contra-indicate lens wear or the medical treatment of which would affect vision or successful lens wear. * Eye injury or surgery within eight weeks immediately prior to enrollment for this study. * Abnormal lacrimal secretions. * Pre-existing ocular irritation that would preclude contact lens fitting. * Keratoconus or other corneal irregularity. * Pregnancy, lactating or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrollment. * Participation in any concurrent clinical trial.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Corneal Thickness | After 8 hours of contact lens wear | Percentage of corneal swelling (positive value) or deswelling (negative value) measured with Haag-Streit pachymetry equipment in microns, reported as a percent. |
| Endothelial Blebs | baseline, after 20 minutes of treatment conditions | Corneal images captured with equipment are measured, manually outlined to estimate total bleb area from 0 to 100%. This is measured as a change in percentage after 20 minutes compared to the value prior to lens wear (baseline). |
| Limbal Redness | Baseline, After 8 hours of treatment conditions | Scale of 0 to 4, where 0=none and 4= severe redness. Measure reported as a comparison of 8 hours of wear to baseline with the difference being reported. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Comfort | after 8 hours | Patient reported subjective comfort of lenses or spectacles (range 0-100, where 100 is best). |

Outcome results
Corneal Thickness
Percentage of corneal swelling (positive value) or deswelling (negative value) measured with Haag-Streit pachymetry equipment in microns, reported as a percent.
Time frame: After 8 hours of contact lens wear
Population: Subjects are those enrolled and randomized to a trial arm.
| Arm | Measure | Value (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spectacles No Lenses | Corneal Thickness | -0.35 Percent Change | Standard Error 0.15 |
| Narafilcon B | Corneal Thickness | -0.99 Percent Change | Standard Error 0.18 |
| Polymacon | Corneal Thickness | 0.75 Percent Change | Standard Error 0.21 |
| Lotrafilcon A | Corneal Thickness | -1.02 Percent Change | Standard Error 0.23 |
Endothelial Blebs
Corneal images captured with equipment are measured, manually outlined to estimate total bleb area from 0 to 100%. This is measured as a change in percentage after 20 minutes compared to the value prior to lens wear (baseline).
Time frame: baseline, after 20 minutes of treatment conditions
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spectacles No Lenses | Endothelial Blebs | -0.13 percentage of bleb area | Standard Error 0.31 |
| Narafilcon B | Endothelial Blebs | 0.49 percentage of bleb area | Standard Error 0.23 |
| Polymacon | Endothelial Blebs | 0.41 percentage of bleb area | Standard Error 0.4 |
| Lotrafilcon A | Endothelial Blebs | 0.38 percentage of bleb area | Standard Error 0.41 |
Limbal Redness
Scale of 0 to 4, where 0=none and 4= severe redness. Measure reported as a comparison of 8 hours of wear to baseline with the difference being reported.
Time frame: Baseline, After 8 hours of treatment conditions
| Arm | Measure | Value (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spectacles No Lenses | Limbal Redness | -0.03 units on a scale | Standard Error 0.06 |
| Narafilcon B | Limbal Redness | -0.04 units on a scale | Standard Error 0.5 |
