| Quest Questionnaire Classification Summary | Baseline | Subjects are classified into 1 of 4 mutually exclusive groups based on their responses to 6 individual items. 5 items were assessed using the 7-point like-rt scale. A composite score Life Satisfaction was calculated for each subject by summing their responses, the final score ranges 0-35 points. Where higher scores indicate higher satisfaction with life. The final item was assessed using a 5 point like-rt scale. If a subject scored 26 or higher for the composite score and responded positively (4 or 5) to the final item, then a subject was classified as Content & Driven. If a subject scored 26 or higher but did not respond positively, then Content & Indifferent. If a subject scored lower than 26 and responded positively, then Discontented & Driven. Lastly, if a subject scored lower than 26 but did not respond positively, then Discontented & Indifferent. The percentage of subjects for each group was reported. |
| Proportion of Successful Lens Wearers | 12-Week Follow-up | Successful lens wearers were defined as subjects that fit the following criteria: 1.Completed all required study visits, 2. responded Excellent or Very Good to both the individual questionnaire items (Overall quality of vision and Overall Comfort) and 3. the investigator would recommend the study lenses.

Near Stereopsis Threshold
Near Stereopsis threshold was collected binocularly using a Randot Stereopsis book at near (40cm) at baseline (over bare eyes), and at 10-minutes post lens fitting, 2-Week and 12-week follow-up evaluations over the study contact lenses. The average stereopsis threshold for each timepoint was reported.

Non-invasive Tear Break-up Time
Measurement of non-invasive tear break up time (NITBUT) was conducted using a Placido disc topographer in both the left and right eyes on a bare eye at baseline and over the study contact lens 10 minutes post-lens insertion and at the 2-Week follow-up evaluation. Subjects were instructed to blink three times and then hold their eyes open. At the hold time was started, time was stopped once the first area of distortion or break in the tear film was observed. Three replicates were taken on each eye. The average NITBUT across eyes and replicate at each time point was provided. Larger values of NITBUT indicates better tear film.

Objective Accommodation With Distance Refraction
Objective accommodation with sphero-cylindrical distance refraction was collected using the WAM-5500 auto-refractor at distance (4-meter), Intermediate (1-meter) and Near (40cm) in both the left and right eyes at baseline, 10-minutes post lens fitting, 2-week and 12-week follow-up evaluations. Measurements at baseline were collected on bare eyes and over the study contact lens at the follow-up evaluations. The average sphere power (diopters) across eyes was report for each distance and timepoint.

Photopic Pupillometry
Pupillometry was measured for both the left and right eyes at baseline and the 1-week follow-up evaluation .
