One Week Assessment of The Phenacite Lens

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Myopia
Interventions
Device: Phenacite (Test) contact lens
Device: comfilcon A contact lens
Registration Number
NCT02553395
Lead Sponsor
Coopervision, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study will investigate performance criteria over one week of daily wear to determine if the Study Test contact lens performs equivalently to the comfilcon A contact lenses in terms of subjective ratings and of visual performance.

The study test lens was not the final optical design and the study results were not used for the design validation.

Detailed Description

This will be double-masked, randomized, bilateral crossover study comparing the Study Test lens against the comfilcon A control lens, each worn over one week of daily wear.

The study test lens was not the final optical design and the study results were not used for the design validation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Binocular Distance Visual Acuity (VA) -High Illumination High Contrast1 week

Binocular Distance visual acuity High Illumination High Contrast was assessed using logMAR (0.02 logMAR= 1 letter)

Binocular Near Visual Acuity (VA) - High Illumination High Contrast1-week

Binocular Near Visual Acuity High Illumination High Contrast was assessed on logMAR VA (0.02 logMAR= 1 letter)

Subjective Ratings for Intermediate Quality of Vision1 week

Patient subjective scoring using anchors on the scale to provide a score between 0-100 for Intermediate Quality of Vision: (0=extremely poor vision all of the time. Cannot function; 20= Frequently annoying vision problems; 40=Occasionally annoying vision problems; 60=occasionally noticeable but not annoying vision problems; 80=rarely noticeable vision problems; 100=excellent vision all of the time)

Subjective Ratings for Near Quality of Vision1 week

Patient subjective scoring using anchors on the scale to provide a score between 0-100 for Near Quality of Vision: (0=extremely poor vision all of the time. Cannot function; 20= Frequently annoying vision problems; 40=Occasionally annoying vision problems; 60=occasionally noticeable but not annoying vision problems; 80=rarely noticeable vision problems; 100=excellent vision all of the time)

Binocular Distance Visual Acuity (VA) - High Illumination High ContrastBaseline - After 5 minutes of lens settling

Binocular Distance visual acuity High Illumination High Contrast was assessed using logMAR (0.02 logMAR= 1 letter)

Binocular Distance Visual Acuity (VA) - Low Illumination High Contrast1 week

Binocular Distance Visual Acuity (VA) - Low Illumination High Contrast was assessed using logMAR VA (0.02 logMAR= 1 letter)

Binocular Near Visual Acuity (VA) - Low Illumination High Contrast1week

Binocular Near Visual Acuity (VA) - Low Illumination High Contrast was assessed using logMAR VA (0.02 logMAR= 1 letter)

Subjective Ratings for Distance Quality of Vision1 week

Patient subjective scoring using anchors on the scale to provide a score between 0-100 for Distance Quality of Vision: (0=extremely poor vision all of the time. Cannot function; 20= Frequently annoying vision problems; 40=Occasionally annoying vision problems; 60=occasionally noticeable but not annoying vision problems; 80=rarely noticeable vision problems; 100=excellent vision all of the time)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post Blink Movement -Baseline (After 5 minutes of lens dispense)

Post blink movement was assessed by the investigator by the amount of movement (to the nearest 0.1mm) immediately after the blink (0.1mm steps)

Lens Mobility Rating1 week

Investigator assessment using 5 Categories in 0.50 steps: 0=Immobile - no lag in any versions, 1=Restricted - no lag in some directions but slight lag (0-0.25mm) in others, 2=Secure - slight lag (0.25-0.5mm in each version), 3=Unrestricted - freely lags in a controlled manner on all versions, but not excessive (0.5-1.0mm), 4=Very mobile - excessive lag (\>1mm) on versions in all directions in 0.25 steps

Subjective Lens Preference - Distance Vision1 week

Patient subjective preference: Phenacite lens, comfilcon A or No Preference

Post Blink Movement1 week

Investigator assessment of Amount of movement (to the nearest 0.1mm) immediately after the blink (0.1mm steps)
