Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Lens Fit Acceptance	4-Weeks	Overall lens fit acceptance was measured on a scale of 0-4, 0.25 steps (0 Unacceptable-Can't be worn, 1 Acceptable -Poor/worn under supervision, 2 Acceptable -Fair, prefer refit, 3 Acceptable -Good, 4-Acceptable -Optimum)
Percentage of Participants With Optimum, Slightly Decentered, Extremely Decentered Lens Centration	4-weeks	Lens Centration was assessed in primary gaze, white light, diffuse, 8xmag, with graticule on a grade of Optimum, Slightly decentered (\<0.5mm), Extremely decentered (\>0.5mm)
Lens Surface Wettability	4-weeks	Lens surface wettability was measured on a scale of 0-4, 0.25 steps (0 Very Poor: Immediately displaying non-wetting areas on the lens surface, immediate drying time, 1 Poor: Irregular surface appearance, drying time \<\< blink time, 2 Acceptable: Smooth surface appearance immediately, after the blink becoming irregular after a while, drying time ≤ blink time, 3 Good: Typical soft lens appearance with long drying time 4 Excellent: Appearance of a healthy cornea with very long drying time)
Lens Surface Deposits	4-weeks	Lens surface deposits was measured on a Scale 0-4, 0.25 steps (0: Clean, no deposits,1: 5 or less small deposits (\<0.1mm), 2: \>5 deposits of \<0.1mm size or film covering 25-50% of surface, 3: Deposits of between 0.1 and 0.5mm or film covering 50-75% of surface, 4: Deposits of 0.5mm or larger or film covering more than 75% of surface)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Limbal Conjunctiva Hyperaemia	4-weeks	Limbal Conjunctiva Hyperaemia was measured on a Scale of 0-4, 0.25 steps (0=None, 4=Severe injection)
Bulbar Conjunctiva Hyperaemia	4-weeks	Bulbar Conjunctiva Hyperaemia was measured on a scale of 0-4, 0.25 steps (0=None, 4=Severe injection)
