Visual Acuity
Conditions
Brief summary
The study is a bilateral, single-masked, single-arm, 4-visit dispensing study. There will be one study treatment, with the subject being dispensed lenses for 6 to 8 days, then lens power will be optimized (if necessary) and dispensed for a further 2 weeks to assess the clinical performance of investigational multifocal toric contact lenses.

Masking description
Subjects will be masked to the study lens to help reduce potential bias. Subjects will be unaware of the identity of the investigational product.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Vision | 2-Week Follow-up | Overall vision was 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. |
| LogMAR Visual Acuity | 2-Week Follow-up | Binocular visual performance on logMAR (Logarithm of Minimal Angle of Resolution) scale was evaluated at distance (4 m),intermediate (64 cm) and near (40 cm) 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 and 7.9 EV (394-597 lux). For Distance (4 m), 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. Hyperopes and myopes were combined based on historical data for subjects in this study with regard to visual performance logMAR. |

Outcome results
LogMAR Visual Acuity
Binocular visual performance on logMAR (Logarithm of Minimal Angle of Resolution) scale was evaluated at distance (4 m),intermediate (64 cm) and near (40 cm) 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 and 7.9 EV (394-597 lux). For Distance (4 m), 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. Hyperopes and myopes were combined based on historical data for subjects in this study with regard to visual performance logMAR.
