Evaluation of Monthly Replacement Lens Designs in Habitual Soft Contact Lens Wearers Who Report Frequent Digital Devise Use
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the clinical performance of two monthly silicone hydrogel contact lenses in habitual wearers of frequent replacement (FRP) lenses who report use of digital devices at least 6 hours per day. Each study lens type will be worn for 1-month.
