Inclusion criteria

* The subject must read, understand, and sign the STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT and receive a fully executed copy of the form. * The subject must appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol. * The subject must be at least 18 and not more than 70 years of age. * The subject's refractive cylinder must be \< 1.00 Diopters (D) in each eye. * The subject must have best corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or better in each eye. * The subject's required spherical contact lens prescription must be in the range of -0.50 to -7.50 D in each eye. * The subject must be a habitual and adapted wearer of daily disposable contact lenses in both eyes. * The subject must self-report their race as Asian * The subject must have normal eyes (i.e., no ocular medications or infections of any type). * The subject must demonstrate adequate mobility and 20/30 vision oculus dexter (OD) and oculus sinister (OS) with the study contact lenses.

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Comfort1-week follow-upSubjective assessment of comfort was performed using the Contact Lens User Experience TM (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE was a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft, disposable contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact lens- wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Scores follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicated a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0 to 120.

Pre-assignment details

128 of the 136 subjects were randomized. 8 subjects did not meet the eligibility criteria. 3 subjects were discontinued from the study. 12 subjects were excluded from analysis due to major protocol deviations. 113 subjects completed all study visits without a major protocol deviation.

Outcome results

Primary

Monocular Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR) Visual Acuity - Standard High Contrast Dim

LogMar visual acuity within each eye was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity charts. A LogMar acuity value of 0 indicates that a subject has 20/20 vision.Positive LogMar acuity values indicate worsened vision while negative LogMar acuity values would indicated improved vision.

Time frame: 1-week follow-up

Population: Consisted of subjects that successfully completed all study visits without any major protocol deviations. 13 Subjects were not included in the analysis population due to study procedures not properly followed from one of the investigational sites where the measured results were not collected in the lighting conditions described in the protocol.

LogMar visual acuity within each eye was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity charts. A LogMar acuity value of 0 indicates that a subject has 20/20 vision. Positive LogMar acuity values indicate worsened vision while negative LogMar acuity values would indicated improved vision.
