Brief summary

This single-site, randomized, double-masked (participant and investigator), 2-way crossover, repeated-measures dispensing study evaluated the visual performance of kalifilcon A daily disposable toric (LD213001) contact lenses compared with commercially available Ultra for Astigmatism (samfilcon A) contact lenses in experienced soft contact lens wearers requiring astigmatic correction. Each participant wore both lens types as daily disposable lenses for approximately one week each, in a randomized order.

Detailed description

Experienced toric soft contact lens wearers were enrolled and attended a Screening/Baseline visit (informed consent, eligibility, sphero-cylindrical baseline refraction). Participants were fit and dispensed either Test (kalifilcon A LD213001) or Comparator (Ultra for Astigmatism, samfilcon A) lenses in both eyes per a randomization schedule and wore them for \ 1 week (7 ±3 days), ≥8 hours/day. Measurements (high-contrast logMAR visual acuity, visual quality, comfort, lens fit, and ocular health) were taken at the dispensing (insertion) visit and the 1-week follow-up visit. Participants then crossed over to the other lens type for a second \ 1-week period. Continuous data were summarized with descriptive statistics; paired t-tests were used for parametric measures (p\<0.05 significant). Non-inferiority margin for mean binocular logMAR VA was 0.06.

Recruitment details

Participants were recruited and enrolled at a single investigational site (Bausch + Lomb Research Clinic, Rochester, NY, United States). Enrollment occurred 14-16 February 2022; the last participant exited 10 May 2022.

Pre-assignment details

Experienced soft contact lens wearers requiring astigmatic correction were screened for eligibility. Eligible participants were randomized to the order (crossover design) in which they wore the two study lens types and were dispensed study lenses.
