Brief summary

The clinical study is a bilateral, single-masked (partial), single-arm, clinical trial. A total of approximately 60 eligible subjects both near-sighted and far-sighted, will be targeted to complete the study. Subjects will be fit in the study lens for approximately 2-4 days then undergo lens optimization, if required. Subjects will then be given a new pair of lenses that will be worn for approximately 2 weeks.

Interventions

DEVICEACUVUE OASYS® with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS

The spherical test lens was used in the troubleshooting steps only for low ADD subjects who have reported a distance vision complaint.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Vision Scores2-Week Follow-upOverall vision scores were assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120. The average CLUE vision score for each sphere stratum (Hyperope and Myope) was reported.
Visual Performance LogMAR2-Week Follow-upBinocular visual performance on logMAR (Logarithm of Minimal Angle of Resolution) scale was evaluated at distance (4m), intermediate (64cm) and near (40cm) under high luminance high contrast lighting condition using ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) charts. The room illuminance was required to be between 7.3 to 7.9 EV (394-597 lux). For Distance (4m), the acceptable range for the chart luminance was 10.5-10.7 EV (181 208 cd/m2). For Intermediate (64cm) and Near (40cm), the acceptable range for the chart luminance 10.8-11.1 EV (223-274 cd/m2). Letter-by-letter results calculated the visual performance score for each chart read. A logMAR score closer to zero, or below zero, indicates a better visual acuity. A logMAR visual performance score of 0.0 is equivalent to Snellen visual acuity of 20/20. Data from hyperopes and myopes were combined for this outcome since logMAR scores between the two populations are similar.
Proportion of Eyes With Unacceptable Lens FittingUp to 2-Week Follow-upContact lens fitting acceptance was assessed for each subject eye using a biomicroscope post lens insertion and the 2-week follow-up. Lens fit was a binary variable where acceptable lens fit=1 and unacceptable lens fit=0. The proportion of eyes with unacceptable lens fit was reported. Data from the hyperope and myopes group were combined for this outcome since lens fitting characteristerics are similar for these two populations.
Proportion of Eyes With Grade 3 or Higher Slit Lamp FindingsUp to 2-Week Follow-upSlit Lamp Findings (SLF) were assessed using a biomicroscope and was graded using the FDA grading scale (Grade: 0, 1,2, 3 and 4) with grade 0 represents the absence of findings and 1 to 4 representing successively worse findings (i.e. Grade 1 = trace, Grade 2 = Mild, Grade 3 = moderate and Grade 4 = severe). This was performed on each subject eye at every study visit (baseline, unscheduled visits and 2-week follow-up). The data was then dichotomized into two groups. Those with grade 3 or higher and those with grade 2 or lower. The proportion of eyes with SLF with grade 3 or higher was reported. Data from the hyperope and myopes group were combined for this outcome since the rate of SLFs grade 3 + is similar for both populations.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of Eyes That Achieved Optimal Lens Pair in 4 Lenses or LessUp to 2-Week Follow-upThe number of lenses to achieve the optimal pair for each subject was calculated as the original pair (2) plus all the required modifications to reach the optimal pair. In this study the minimum number of lenses per subject used was 2 where the maximum possible number of lenses used was 12. The data was dichotomized as Y=1 if the subject was able to achieve optimal lens pair in 4 lenses or lenses or less and 0 otherwise. A lens modification was performed if the subject reports unsatisfactory vision or was unable to obtain 20/30 distance visual acuity in both eyes. If the subject reported satisfactory vision with the lenses a modification was not required. However, based upon the investigator's findings on the measured visual acuity and/or over-refraction a modification may have been performed. Data for the hyperope and myope groups were combined for this endpoint since the number of lenses needed to optimize vision is indpendent of which group a subject belongs to.

Proportion of Eyes With Grade 3 or Higher Slit Lamp Findings

Slit Lamp Findings (SLF) were assessed using a biomicroscope and was graded using the FDA grading scale (Grade: 0, 1,2, 3 and 4) with grade 0 represents the absence of findings and 1 to 4 representing successively worse findings (i.e. Grade 1 = trace, Grade 2 = Mild, Grade 3 = moderate and Grade 4 = severe). This was performed on each subject eye at every study visit (baseline, unscheduled visits and 2-week follow-up). The data was then dichotomized into two groups. Those with grade 3 or higher and those with grade 2 or lower. The proportion of eyes with SLF with grade 3 or higher was reported. Data from the hyperope and myopes group were combined for this outcome since the rate of SLFs grade 3 + is similar for both populations.

A logMAR visual performance score of 0.0 is equivalent to Snellen visual acuity of 20/20.

Proportion of Eyes That Achieved Optimal Lens Pair in 4 Lenses or Less

The number of lenses to achieve the optimal pair for each subject was calculated as the original pair (2) plus all the required modifications to reach the optimal pair. In this study the minimum number of lenses per subject used was 2 where the maximum possible number of lenses used was 12. The data was dichotomized as Y=1 if the subject was able to achieve optimal lens pair in 4 lenses or lenses or less and 0 otherwise. A lens modification was performed if the subject reports unsatisfactory vision or was unable to obtain 20/30 distance visual acuity in both eyes. If the subject reported satisfactory vision with the lenses a modification was not required. However, based upon the investigator's findings on the measured visual acuity and/or over-refraction a modification may have been performed. Data for the hyperope and myope groups were combined for this endpoint since the number of lenses needed to optimize vision is indpendent of which group a subject belongs to.
