Dispensing Overnight Study in Lenses

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Myopia
• Interventions: Device: Biofinity

• Registration Number: NCT00349856
• Lead Sponsor: University of Waterloo

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the fit and performance of an investigational soft contact lens in comparison with a currently marketed lens. Both lenses will be worn on a continuous wear basis, which means the lenses will be worn while sleeping.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the fit and performance of an investigational soft contact lens in comparison with a currently marketed lens. Both lenses will be worn on a continuous wear basis, which means the lenses will be worn while sleeping. Physiological changes will be monitored and subjective ratings collected.
