1. Be at least 18 years old and full legal capacity to volunteer
2. Read, understand and sign written statement of informed consent
3. Appears able and willing to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule
4. Existing soft contact lens wearer (at least 4 weeks daily wear prior to study)
5. Require a visual correction in both eyes (monovision allowed but no monofit)
6. Have a spherical contact lens requirement in the range of -1.00 to -4.00 DS
7. Have no greater than 1.00 DS difference in contact lens spherical requirements between eyes
8. Have astigmatism <1.25DC in both eyes
9. Monocular distance visual acuity correctable to 6/9 (20/40) or better in each eye best sphero-cylindrical refraction
10. Have normal eyes with no evidence of any ocular abnormality or disease. For the purpose of the study a normal eye is defined as having one of these:
10.1. Clear central cornea
10.2. No anterior segment disorder
10.3. No clinically significant slit lamp findings (corneal oedema, staining, central scarring, infiltrates, active neovascularisation)
10.4. No other active ocular disease or recent surgery
1. Any systematic disease affecting ocular health
2. Any systemic or topical medications that will in the investigators opinion affect ocular physiology or contact lens performance
3. Have severe insufficiency of lacrimal secretion (moderate to severe dry eyes) that would affect the wearing of the contact lenses
4. Has persistent, clinically significant corneal or conjuctival staining using fluorescein dye (> Grade 3)
5. Is aphakic
