Inclusion criteria

* Be of legal age of consent and sign written Informed Consent document, or if under legal age, have written consent of parent or guardian to participate. * Require vision correction in both eyes. * Wear either daily disposable contact lenses or weekly/monthly replacement contact lenses in powers between -0.50 and -10.00 diopters, cylinder ≤0.75 diopter, no ADD correction. * Wear habitual contact lenses an average of 12-14 hours per day, at least 5 days per week. * Willing and able to wear study contact lenses 16 hours per day. * Able to achieve visual acuity of at least 6/7.5 in each eye with study lenses. * Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion criteria

* Currently wearing DAILIES TOTAL1®, 1-DAY ACUVUE® TRUEYE™, or Clariti™ 1day contact lenses. * Require monovision correction. * Any systemic or ocular disease or disorder (refractive disorder allowed and dry eye permitted), complicating factors, or structural abnormality that would negatively affect the conduct or outcome of the study. * Ocular surgery/trauma within the last 6 months. * Topical or systemic antibiotic use within 7 days of enrollment. * Topical ocular or systemic corticosteroid use within 14 days of enrollment. * Pregnant and nursing women. * Participation in any other ophthalmic drug or device clinical trial within 30 days of enrollment. * Other protocol-defined

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pre-Lens Non-Invasive Tear Break-Up Time (PL-NITBUT)Day 7, 16 hours after lens insertionThe pre-lens tear film is the layer of tears located on top of the contact lens (i.e., between the eye lid and the contact lens). The time required for a dry spot to appear on the corneal surface after blinking is referred to as the tear film break-up time. Circular images were projected onto the corneal surface using a CA-1000 topographer, and the tear film reflection was observed on a 30-inch flat panel monitor. PL-NITBUT was recorded at the first sign of image distortion. Three measurements were taken and averaged together. A higher number represents a longer tear film break up time.

Pre-Lens Non-Invasive Tear Break-Up Time (PL-NITBUT)

The pre-lens tear film is the layer of tears located on top of the contact lens (i.e., between the eye lid and the contact lens). The time required for a dry spot to appear on the corneal surface after blinking is referred to as the tear film break-up time. Circular images were projected onto the corneal surface using a CA-1000 topographer, and the tear film reflection was observed on a 30-inch flat panel monitor. PL-NITBUT was recorded at the first sign of image distortion. Three measurements were taken and averaged together. A higher number represents a longer tear film break up time.
