  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Subjects With Visibly Clean Lenses [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Worn study lenses were removed and evaluated for deposits. Deposits found on the lenses were defined using a 3-part classification system consisting of general visibility, the specific appearance and area covered. A lens was considered visibly clean if it had nondetectable films or deposits. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    2. Percentage of Subjects With Crystalline Deposits by Type [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Worn study lenses were removed and evaluated for deposits. Deposits found on the lenses were defined using a 3-part classification system consisting of general visibility, the specific appearance and area covered: Type II = films or deposits visible only under special conditions, such as special illumination using an eyepiece of 7-10 times magnification, Type III = films or deposits readily visible on a dry lens under room lighting, with unaided eye, and Type IV = films or deposits obvious under room lighting, with unaided eye, when the lens is wet or dry. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    3. Percentage of Subjects With Film Deposits by Type [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Worn study lenses were removed and evaluated for deposits. Deposits found on the lenses were defined using a 3-part classification system consisting of general visibility, the specific appearance and area covered: Type II = films or deposits visible only under special conditions, such as special illumination using an eyepiece of 7-10 times magnification, Type III = films or deposits readily visible on a dry lens under room lighting, with unaided eye, and Type IV = films or deposits obvious under room lighting, with unaided eye, when the lens is wet or dry. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    4. Average Residual Lens Lysozyme [Day 90/Early Exit]

      Worn study lenses were removed and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for residual lens lysozyme (protein). Values reported as lower than the limit of quantitation or none detected were imputed as 0.5 μg or 0 μg, respectively. A lower value indicates less lysozyme deposition. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    5. Percentage of Subjects With Change From Baseline in Contact Lens-Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CLCDVA) by Line Change [Baseline (Day 0), Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Distance VA was assessed for each eye individually while reading a chart distant to the participant in dimmed room illumination. VA was measured using a Snellen chart, with 20/20 Snellen acuity considered normal distance-eyesight. A line increase indicates an improvement in VA. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    6. Average Lens Wear Time [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Subject recorded a response to the question, "Averaging over the last 3 days, how many hours per day did you wear your contact lenses?" Lens wear time was measured in hours.

    7. Number of Unscheduled Lens Replacements by Reason [Up to Day 90]

      No lens replacements were planned during the study. Lenses could be replaced as needed due to loss, damage, or as deemed necessary by the Investigator. If it became necessary to replace a lens, the subject was examined at an unscheduled visit. The counts in the table represent the total number of unscheduled lenses replaced by reason for any eye, any subject.

    8. Likert Item - "When I Use This Solution, my Lenses Are Comfortable All Day." [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Lens comfort was assessed by the subject as a single response on a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree, Strongly Disagree) to best describe their lens wearing experience over the last 3 days. Responses were summarized by agreement category and presented as percentage of subjects.

    9. Likert Item - "When I Use This Solution, at the End of the Lens Wearing Day my Vision is Clear." [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Clear vision was assessed by the subject as a single response on a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree, Strongly Disagree) to best describe their lens wearing experience over the last 3 days. Responses were summarized by agreement category and presented as percentage of subjects.

    10. Likert Item - "When I Use This Solution, I Like the Way This Product Feels During Handling." [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Product handling was assessed by the subject as a single response on a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree, Strongly Disagree) to best describe their lens wearing experience over the last 3 days. Responses were summarized by agreement category and presented as percentage of subjects.

    11. Crystalline Deposit Area Covered [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Worn study lenses were removed and evaluated for deposits. Deposits found on the lenses were defined using a 3-part classification system consisting of general visibility, the specific appearance and area covered. Values were reported as a percentage of lens area covered. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    12. Film Deposit Area Covered [Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90]

      Worn study lenses were removed and evaluated for deposits. Deposits found on the lenses were defined using a 3-part classification system consisting of general visibility, the specific appearance and area covered. Values were reported as a percentage of lens area covered. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    Title Likert Item - "When I Use This Solution, at the End of the Lens Wearing Day my Vision is Clear."
    Description Clear vision was assessed by the subject as a single response on a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree, Strongly Disagree) to best describe their lens wearing experience over the last 3 days. Responses were summarized by agreement category and presented as percentage of subjects.

    11. Primary Outcome
    Title Crystalline Deposit Area Covered
    Description Worn study lenses were removed and evaluated for deposits. Deposits found on the lenses were defined using a 3-part classification system consisting of general visibility, the specific appearance and area covered. Values were reported as a percentage of lens area covered. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.
    Time Frame Day 7, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    This analysis population includes all randomized subjects. Here, "n" is the total number of subjects with crystalline deposits in each treatment group, respectively, by visit.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse events (AEs) were collected for the duration of the study (Nov 2013 - May 2014). AEs were obtained as solicited and volunteered comments from subjects and as observations by the study Investigator as outlined in the study protocol.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description AEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs in subjects, users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device or control product. AEs are reported as pre-treatment and treatment-emergent.
