Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Investigational lens

Bausch & Lomb investigational silicone hydrogel lens

Device: Investigational lens
Bausch & Lomb investigational silicone hydrogel contact lens worn on a daily wear basis for 1 week.

Active Comparator: Air Optix Aqua lens

Ciba Vision Air Optix Aqua contact lens

Device: Air Optix Aqua lens
Ciba Visions Air Optix Aqua contact lens, worn on a daily wear basis for 1 week.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Visual Acuity [At 1 week follow up]

    Visual acuity was assessed by distance high contrast logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Eyes With > Grade 2 Slit Lamp Findings [At 1 week follow up]

    Graded slit lamp findings for each eye, including epithelial edema, epithelial microcysts, corneal staining, limbal and bulbar injections, upper lid tarsal conjunctival abnormalities, corneal neovascularization, and corneal infiltrates were graded for severity on a scale from 0 (No Finding) to 4 (Severe Finding). The outcome measure is any finding > grade 2, across abnormalities.

  2. Symptoms and Complaints [At 1 week follow up]

    At 1-Week Follow-up, subjects were asked to rate 16 common symptoms/complaints on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being the most favorable score.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Yes
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Have physiologically normal anterior segments not exhibiting clinically significant biomicroscopy findings.

  • Be myopic and require lens correction in each eye.

  • Be adapted wearers of soft contact lenses, wear a lens in each eye, and each lens must be of the same manufacture and brand.

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Any systemic disease affecting ocular health.

  • Using any systemic or topical medications that will affect ocular physiology or lens performance.

  • An active ocular disease, any corneal infiltrative response or are using any ocular medications.

  • Any "Present" finding during the slit lamp examination that, in the Investigator's judgment, interferes with contact lens wear.

  • Allergic to any component in the study care products.

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details A total of 66 participants (132 eyes) were enrolled in the study. One-half were randomized to receive the investigational lens, and the other half were randomized to receive the control lens. After one week of wearing the first lens type, the subjects returned for an exam and crossed over to the second lens type for one week.
