Subject A (Neophytes)
Subject B (Habitual Lens Wearers)
Subjects will wear the Marketed Contact Lens 1, Marketed Contact Lens 2, Marketed Contact Lens 3, and Marketed Contact Lens 4 for a 6-hour period in a bilateral and random fashion, with a washout period of one week between lenses. Each subject will randomly be assigned to one of four unique sequences of a 4 x 4 crossover design. A block size of two sequences will be used.
