Brief summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the performance of somofilcon A to etafilcon A when worn on a daily disposable wear modality over a period of approximately one week.
Detailed description
The study is a prospective, double masked (investigator and participant), bilateral, randomized, cross-over dispensing study, which evaluates somofilcon A (test lens) and etafilcon A (control lens).
