Is not using any systemic or topical medications that will affect ocular health, accommodative function, or the ocular physiological response to the contact lenses. Has clear corneas and no active ocular disease. Has no known ocular or systemic allergies, which could interfere with contact lens wear. Has no lid or conjunctival abnormalities, neovascularization, limbal injection, bulbar injection or corneal staining, which in the investigator's opinion is clinically significant.
