Contact Lens Optics and Visual Performance
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate changes in visual performance at different pupil sizes between a single vision soft contact lens and multifocal soft contact lens, and compare refractive error measured between these two lenses with an autorefractor and an aberrometer

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual performance [Through completion of study visit, an average of 3 hours]
Low contrast visual performance will be measured at different pupil sizes for each subject while wearing each of the two lenses
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Refractive error [Through completion of study visit, an average of 3 hours]
Refractive error will be measured with an autorefractor and an aberrometer with subjects wearing each of the two lenses
