Interventions: Device: Lens A (comfilcon A lens)
Device: Lens B (lehfilcon A lens)

Brief Summary: To evaluate the clinical performance of two monthly silicone hydrogel contact lenses in habitual wearers of frequent replacement (FRP) lenses when worn for 1-month.

Detailed Description: This study is a prospective, bilateral eye, double-masked, randomized, 1-month cross-over, daily-wear design involving two different FRP lens types. Each lens type will be worn for approximately one month.
