Brief summary
The aim of this study is to validate the clinical of comfilcon A extended range high add center near (CN) multifocal lenses in existing contact lens wearers against the current comfilcon A high add multifocal lenses.
Detailed description
This study is a 20-subject, randomized, prospective, single site, daily wear, single-masked (to the subject), bilateral, 4-day cross-over, dispensing study comparing the comfilcon A extended range multifocal test lens against the comfilcon A multifocal control lens.
