Brief summary
The primary objective of thes study is to confirm that the ocular response to the Test lenses are similar to those of the Control lenses when used in a 1 week planned replacement, daily wear modality over a 1-month period.
Detailed description
The test lens and control lens were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to evaluate the test lens and control contact lens.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Prior to being considered eligible to participate in this study, each subject MUST: * Be at least 18 years of age as of the date of evaluation for the study. * Have read the Informed Consent, been given an explanation of the Informed Consent, indicated understanding of the Informed Consent, signed the Informed Consent document. * Be willing and able to adhere to the instructions set forth in this protocol and able to keep all specified appointments. * Be an adapted, current full-time silicone hydrogel or soft contact lens wearer. An adapted full-time wearer is defined as wearing contact lenses in both eyes on a daily basis for at least 8 hours per day for at least one month prior to participation in the study. * Possess wearable and visually functional eyeglasses. * Be in good general health, based on his/her knowledge. * Require spectacle lens powers between -1.00 and -6.00 diopters sphere with no more than 2.00 diopters of refractive astigmatism and be willing to wear contact lenses in both eyes. * Have: manifest refraction Snellen visual acuities (VA) equal to or better than 20/25 in each eye. * Upon completing the fitting process with the lenses to be worn in the study, have contact lens Snellen VA equal to or better than 20/30 in each eye.
Exclusion criteria
Subjects may not be enrolled in this study if any of the following apply: The subject is/has: * Wearing lenses in a monovision modality and is unwilling to be fit with distance lenses in both eyes.

Outcome results
Comparison of Objective Findings - Number of Adverse Events in Unique Eyes
The primary safety endpoint are the objective findings of the number of adverse events in unique eyes associated with the enfilcon A contact lenses compared with those same findings as associated with the galyfilcon A contact lenses. The number of adverse events over the duration of the study was reported for each unique eye (bilateral or unilateral). Observations for adverse events were reported for any occurrence from Baseline through end of month 1 visit.
Time frame: Any occurrence from baseline to 1 month visit
Population: Unique eyes are defined as each individual eye in the study.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Enfilcon A | Comparison of Objective Findings - Number of Adverse Events in Unique Eyes | 0 number of adverse events |
| Galyfilcon A | Comparison of Objective Findings - Number of Adverse Events in Unique Eyes | 2 number of adverse events |
Objective Assessment: Ocular Response - Biomicroscopy
The primary safety endpoint are the objective slit lamp findings associated with the enfilcon A contact lenses compared with those same findings reported as associated with the galyfilcon A contact lenses. The incidence of biomicroscopy findings (0=not present, 4=severe) over the duration of the study with the highest reported grade was chosen for each unique eye. Biomicroscopy measurements were obtained at Baseline/Dispensing (baseline and dispensing visit combined), Post-Dispensing (after lenses were dispensed and allowed to settle) and All Follow-Ups (week 1 visit, week 2 visit, month 1 visit combined). The average grade for unique eyes with findings greater than 0 (none) is compared.
Time frame: Change from baseline/dispensing visits, post-dispensing visit and all follow-ups visits
Population: Unique eyes are defined as each individual eye in the study and are only counted once for each of the visit groupings.
