About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Refractive Errors
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Able to understand and must sign an Informed Consent;
- Successful wearer of spherical soft contact lenses in both eyes for a minimum of 5 days per week and 8 hours per day during the past 3 months;
- Manifest cylinder less than or equal to 1.50 diopter (D) in each eye;
- Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) 20/25 or better in each eye;
- VA with habitual spectacles 20/40 in both eyes (OU) or better and willing to wear spectacles as needed during the washout period and during study lens exposure;
- Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any anterior segment infection, inflammation, abnormality or disease that contraindicates contact lens wear;
- Any use of systemic or ocular medications for which contact lens wear could be contraindicated;
- History of refractive surgery or plan to have refractive surgery during the study or irregular cornea in either eye;
- Ocular or intra-ocular surgery (excluding placement of punctal plugs) within the previous 12 months or planned during the study;
- Current or history of pathologically dry eye in either eye that would preclude contact lens wear;
- Current or history of herpetic keratitis in either eye;
- Eye injury in either eye within 12 weeks immediately prior to enrollment;
- History of intolerance or hypersensitivity to any component of the study lenses or solutions;
- Habitual contact lenses worn in an extended wear modality (routinely sleeping in lenses for at least 1 night per week) over the last 3 months prior to enrollment;
- Use of topical ocular medications and artificial tear or rewetting drops that would require instillation during contact lens wear;
- Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply.

Contact lens with investigational coating 1 in right eye, with balafilcon A contact lens in left eye during Period 1, followed by balafilcon A contact lens in right eye, with contact lens with investigational coating 2 in left eye during Period 2. Each lens pair worn contralaterally for approximately 2 hours, with 2 to 8 days between pairs.
