- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall satisfaction Week 2 The participant was asked, "Please rate your overall satisfaction based on your experience with the study lenses over the last 2 weeks. When considering your rating, please take into account comfort, vision, and handling, but disregard the appearance of the lenses." Overall satisfaction was rated on a scale of 1-10, with 1=Not at all satisfied, and 10=Completely satisfied.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Contact Lens Corrected Visual Acuity (CLCVA) Dispense (Day 0) CLCVA (corrected distance monocular visual measurement in normal illumination) was tested for each eye individually while wearing study lenses. Participant read a Snellen chart distant to the participant in normal lighting, with 20/20 Snellen acuity considered normal distance eyesight.
Overall lens fit Week 2 Overall lens fit was assessed by the investigator on a 5-point scale, with +2=Unacceptably loose, +1=Acceptably loose, 0=Optimal, -1=Acceptably tight, -2=Unacceptably tight.
Corrected distance monocular visual measurement in normal illumination reported as Contact Lens Corrected Visual Acuity (CLCVA) Week 2 As tested for each eye individually while wearing study lenses. Participant will read a Snellen chart distant to the participant in normal lighting, with 20/20 Snellen acuity considered normal distance eyesight.
