Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Contact Lens-Corrected Distance Monocular Snellen Visual Acuity (VA) (20/30 or Better)
Visual acuity, as assessed for each eye individually. Participant read a distance Snellen chart while wearing study lenses. The percentage of eyes with VA recorded as 20/30 or better is reported. Both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Subjective Rating of Insertion Comfort
Insertion comfort (30 seconds to 1 minute), as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Subjective Rating of End of Day Comfort
End of day comfort, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Subjective Rating of Overall Comfort
Overall comfort, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Subjective Rating of End of Day Dryness
End of day dryness, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being dry and 10 being not dry. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Subjective Rating of Overall Vision
Overall vision, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Subjective Rating of Overall Handling
Overall handling, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being difficult and 10 being easy. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Lens Centration (Centered, Slight Decentration)
Lens centration, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Lens centration was graded on a 5-point scale: 0=centered, 1=slight decentration, 2=mild decentration, 3=moderate decentration, 4=severe decentration. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "centered" or "slight decentration" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Lens Fit (Optimal, Acceptably Loose, Acceptably Tight)
Lens fit, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Lens fit was graded on a 5-point scale: 2=unacceptably loose, 1=acceptably loose, 0=optimal, -1=acceptably tight, and -2=unacceptably tight. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "optimal," "acceptably loose," or "acceptably tight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Front Surface Wettability (None, Very Slight)
Front surface wettability (i.e., assessment of the disruption of the front surface wettability of the contact lens), as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Front surface wettability was graded on a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=very slight, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "none" or "very slight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Front Surface Deposits (None, Very Slight)
Front surface deposits on the contact lens, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Front surface deposits were graded on a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=very slight, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "none" or "very slight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Back Surface Debris/Deposits (None, Very Slight)
Back surface debris/deposits on the contact lens, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Back surface debris/deposits were graded on a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=very slight, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "none" or "very slight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
