Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate contact lens fit, lens parameters, and conjunctival staining in a sample of subjects with various contact lens/solution combinations.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Circumlimbal Conjunctival Staining Score
Time Frame: 1 week
Circumlimbal conjunctival staining was expressed as the sum of the individual scores observed across all of the evaluated regions of the eye. The bulbar conjunctiva was assessed by the investigator utilizing a slit-lamp and lissamine green ophthalmic dye. Staining coverage was scored separately in each of four regions (nasal, temporal, inferior, and superior) using a 4-point clinical grading scale (grade 0-3), where Grade 0 = No staining present; Grade 1 = Slight staining present; Grade 2 = Moderate staining present; and Grade 3 = Dense staining present. The scores for the four regions were summed, with a sum score range of 0-12. A lower score represents a more desirable outcome.
