Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the factors affecting comfortable contact lens wear and how those factors affect contact lens replacement frequency.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Habitual contact lens
  • Device: Lotrafilcon B contact lens
  • Device: Contact lens cleaning and disinfecting system (ClearCare)
N/A

Detailed Description

Eligible participants began Phase 1, following either Cycle A or Cycle B, and crossing over to the second cycle after completing the first. After the Phase 1 results were evaluated, eligible participants entered Phase 2. After Phase 2 results were evaluated, participants who consistently reported the highest and the lowest comfort scores entered Phase 3 and were defined as either survivors or strugglers.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Phase 3: Ocular Comfort, Lens Age 1 Day, Hour 1 [Day 1]

      Ocular comfort was rated bilaterally by the participant after wearing the same pair of lenses for 1 day. Ocular comfort was recorded on a continuum and converted to a 100-point scale where 1=EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE ("I CANNOT tolerate the comfort of my eyes! I am in pain!")and 100=VERY COMFORTABLE & FRESH ("Wow! My eyes feel incredible! I love this feeling.")

    2. Phase 3: Ocular Comfort, Lens Age 1 Day, Hour 10 [Day 1]

      Ocular comfort was rated bilaterally by the participant after wearing the same pair of lenses for 1 day.

      Ocular comfort was rated bilaterally by the participant after wearing the same pair of lenses for 27 days. Ocular comfort was recorded on a continuum and converted to a 100-point scale where 1=EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE ("I CANNOT tolerate the comfort of my eyes!

    Limitations/Caveats

    The current study design and sample size was not able to uncover clinically meaningful differences between survivors and strugglers. There is considerable individual variation in lens performance with age, which requires further investigation.
