Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare an alternative fitting guide to a current fitting guide for optimizing contact lens parameters and determining contact lens prescription.

Interventions

Contact lenses for near, intermediate, and distance correction worn on a daily wear basis and cared for with participant's habitual lens care solution

Contact lenses for near, intermediate, and distance correction worn on a daily disposable basis (removed every night and discarded) with a new pair of study lenses every morning
