5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This will be a controlled and randomized, single-masked, crossover study in which 48 subjects will use the Biofinity Contact Lens (comfilcon A) with each of the two lens care products ('solutions'), (Synergi and Biotrue Multi-purpose Solution) for one month each. Follow-up visits for each solution will take place at one week, two weeks and four weeks: with a one-week 'wash-out' period between the solutions. Key outcome measures for this study include biomicroscopic and subjective responses to the lens/solution combinations.
