Detailed Description
This study is a prospective, subject-masked, bilateral, randomized, parallel group dispensing study comparing the SHSCL test lens against the 1-Month ACUVUE® VITA™ (1-MAV) control lenses. Each subject will be randomized to wear either the test or of the control with similar/comparable lens parameters optimized for vision.
Both test and control lens will be used in their daily wear, monthly replacement modality for thirteen (13) weeks. It is anticipated that this study will involve up to 6 scheduled visits.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Best-corrected contact lens visual acuity [13 weeks]
The primary efficacy endpoint in this evaluation is the percentage of subjects with best-corrected contact lens visual acuity of 0.8 decimal (+0.10 logMAR) and 1.0 decimal (0.00 logMAR) or better. The Snellen chart will be used for visual acuity testing.
- Permanent loss of visual acuity [13 weeks]
The primary safety endpoint in this evaluation is the percentage of subjects with permanent loss of two or more lines of visual acuity.
- Serious adverse reactions [13 weeks]
The primary safety endpoint in this evaluation is the rate of serious adverse reactions related to visual acuity loss as well as accompanying slit-lamp findings and other associated observations.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Lens comfort [13 weeks]
The secondary efficacy endpoint is the assessment of lens comfort over time with the lens for the recommended wearing time. This will be measured using Study Diary. Subject will be given a Study Diary to be completed at home, to reflect their lens wear experience at the time of rating. Subject will be given careful explanation of how and when to complete them. Comfort after insertion (i.e. after lens settling), after 4 hours, and just before lens removal (0-10 scale)(10 = cannot be felt, 0 = painful)
- Symptoms of dryness [13 weeks]
The secondary efficacy endpoint is the assessment of dryness symptoms with the lens for the recommended wearing time. This will be measured using Study Diary. Subject will be given a Study Diary to be completed at home, to reflect their lens wear experience at the time of rating. Subject will be given careful explanation of how and when to complete them. Dryness after insertion (i.e. after lens settling), after 4 hours, and just before lens removal (0-10 scale)(10 = cannot be felt, 0 = painful)
- Slit lamp findings [13 weeks]
The secondary efficacy endpoint is the assessment of the rate of any Slit Lamp Findings > Grade 2. The subject will be instructed to take off the study lenses before the slit-lamp biomicroscopy assessment. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy will be assessed according to the approved study biomicroscopy CRF. ISO 11980:2012 Annex B will be used to grade the Slit-lamp findings.
- Subject reported ocular complaints [13 weeks]
Subjects will be asked to assess ocular complaints by using Study Diary.

-
Any ocular medications use within the last one month;
-
Any systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or use of medication, which may interfere with contact lens wear;
