This will be an up to six months, subject-masked, contralateral, parallel-group, randomised, daily wear study. All subjects will wear the Test lens in one eye and the Control lens in the other eye. Data from the first four weeks of Test and Control lens exposure will be used for the FDA 510 (k) submission.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| questionnaire addressing subjective comfort and wear time | subjects will be followed-up for one month | Subjects rated on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 was 'poor' and 10 was 'excellent'. |
| limbal redness - ocular biomicroscopy | subjects will be followed-up for one month | Findings were graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe. |
| corneal staining - ocular biomicroscopy | subjects will be followed-up for one month | Findings were graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe. |
