Inclusion criteria

A person is eligible for inclusion in the study if he/she: * Is between 18 and 40 years of age (inclusive) * Has read, understood and signed the information consent letter * Has had a self-reported eye exam in the last two years * Is a spherical soft contact lens wearer * Has a contact lens prescription that fits within the available parameters of the study lenses * Has a spectacle cylinder no greater than 0.75D (Diopters) in each eye * Can achieve best corrected spectacle distance visual acuity of 20/25 (0.10 logMAR) or better in each eye * Can achieve a distance visual acuity of 20/30 (0.18 logMAR) or better in each eye with the study contact lenses * Has clear corneas and no active ocular disease * Is willing and anticipated to be able to comply with the wear schedule (8 hours per day; 5 days a week of lens wear) * Is willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule

Exclusion criteria

A person will be excluded from the study if he/she: * Has a history of not achieving comfortable CL (Contact Lens) wear (defined as 5 days per week; \>8 hours/day) * Is currently wearing senofilcon C (2 weeks lens), senofilcon A 1-Day, senofilcon C (monthly lens) or enfilcon A contact lenses * Is habitually using rewetting/ lubricating eye drops more than once per day * Presents with clinically significant anterior segment abnormalities * Presents with ocular or systemic disease or need of medications which might interfere with contact lens wear * Presents with slit lamp findings that would contraindicate contact lens wear such as: * Pathological dry eye or associated findings * Significant pterygium, pinguecula, or corneal scars within the visual axis * Neovascularization \> 0.75 mm in from of the limbus * Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GCP) worse than grade 1 * Anterior uveitis or iritis (or history in past year) * Seborrheic eczema of eyelid region, Seborrheic conjunctivitis * History of corneal ulcers or fungal infections * Poor personal hygiene * Has a known history of corneal hypoesthesia (reduced corneal sensitivity) * Has aphakia, keratoconus or a highly irregular cornea * Has presbyopia or has dependence on spectacles for near work over the contact lenses * Has undergone corneal refractive surgery
