• Registration Number: NCT04534517
• Lead Sponsor: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.

Brief Summary

The clinical study is a bilateral, single-masked (partial), single-arm, clinical trial. A total of approximately 60 eligible subjects both near-sighted and far-sighted, will be targeted to complete the study.

4. Any previous, or planned, ocular or intraocular surgery (e.g. radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, lid procedures, dacryocystorhinostomy, peripheral iridotomy/iridectomy, cataract surgery, retinal surgery, etc.).
5. A history of amblyopia, strabismus or binocular vision abnormality.
6. History of glaucoma, macular degeneration, recurrent corneal erosions, recurrent styes, herpetic keratitis, irregular cornea or pathological dry eye.
7. Use of any of the following medications within 1 week prior to enrollment: oral retinoids, oral tetracyclines, oral phenothiazines, anticholinergics, corticosteroids.
8. Use of any ocular medication, with the exception of rewetting drops.
9. Participation in any contact lens or lens care product clinical trial within 30 days prior to study enrollment.
10. Employee or immediate family member of an employee of clinical site (e.g., Investigator, Coordinator, Technician).
11. Any known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Optifree® Replenish® multipurpose care solution, sodium fluorescein or non-preserved rewetting drop solutions.
12. Clinically significant (Grade 2 or greater) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection, or any other corneal or ocular abnormalities which would contraindicate contact lens wear.
13. Any current ocular infection or inflammation.
14. Any current ocular abnormality that may interfere with contact lens wear.

Group	Intervention	Description
TEST Lens	JJV Investigational Multifocal Contact Lens	Eligible subjects who are habitual soft contact lens wearers between the ages of 40 and 70 years of age will be recruited. Alternative Spherical lenses will be used if optimization cannot be achieved with the Multifocal lenses.
TEST Lens	ACUVUE OASYS® with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS	Eligible subjects who are habitual soft contact lens wearers between the ages of 40 and 70 years of age will be recruited. Alternative Spherical lenses will be used if optimization cannot be achieved with the Multifocal lenses.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Performance LogMAR	2-Week Follow-up	Binocular visual performance on logMAR (Logarithm of Minimal Angle of Resolution) scale was evaluated at distance (4m), intermediate (64cm) and near (40cm) under high luminance high contrast lighting condition using ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) charts. The room illuminance was required to be between 7.3 to 7.9 EV (394-597 lux). For Distance (4m), the acceptable range for the chart luminance was 10.5-10.7 EV (181 208 cd/m2). For Intermediate (64cm) and Near (40cm), the acceptable range for the chart luminance 10.8-11.1 EV (223-274 cd/m2). Letter-by-letter results calculated the visual performance score for each chart read. A logMAR score closer to zero, or below zero, indicates a better visual acuity. A logMAR visual performance score of 0.0 is equivalent to Snellen visual acuity of 20/20. Data from hyperopes and myopes were combined for this outcome since logMAR scores between the two populations are similar.
Proportion of Eyes With Unacceptable Lens Fitting	Up to 2-Week Follow-up	Contact lens fitting acceptance was assessed for each subject eye using a biomicroscope post lens insertion and the 2-week follow-up. Lens fit was a binary variable where acceptable lens fit=1 and unacceptable lens fit=0. The proportion of eyes with unacceptable lens fit was reported. Data from the hyperope and myopes group were combined for this outcome since lens fitting characteristerics are similar for these two populations.
Vision Scores	2-Week Follow-up	Overall vision scores were assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120. The average CLUE vision score for each sphere stratum (Hyperope and Myope) was reported.
Proportion of Eyes With Grade 3 or Higher Slit Lamp Findings	Up to 2-Week Follow-up	Slit Lamp Findings (SLF) were assessed using a biomicroscope and was graded using the FDA grading scale (Grade: 0, 1,2, 3 and 4) with grade 0 represents the absence of findings and 1 to 4 representing successively worse findings (i.e. Grade 1 = trace, Grade 2 = Mild, Grade 3 = moderate and Grade 4 = severe). This was performed on each subject eye at every study visit (baseline, unscheduled visits and 2-week follow-up). The data was then dichotomized into two groups. Those with grade 3 or higher and those with grade 2 or lower. The proportion of eyes with SLF with grade 3 or higher was reported. Data from the hyperope and myopes group were combined for this outcome since the rate of SLFs grade 3 + is similar for both populations.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of Eyes That Achieved Optimal Lens Pair in 4 Lenses or Less	Up to 2-Week Follow-up	The number of lenses to achieve the optimal pair for each subject was calculated as the original pair (2) plus all the required modifications to reach the optimal pair. In this study the minimum number of lenses per subject used was 2 where the maximum possible number of lenses used was 12. The data was dichotomized as Y=1 if the subject was able to achieve optimal lens pair in 4 lenses or lenses or less and 0 otherwise. A lens modification was performed if the subject reports unsatisfactory vision or was unable to obtain 20/30 distance visual acuity in both eyes. If the subject reported satisfactory vision with the lenses a modification was not required. However, based upon the investigator's findings on the measured visual acuity and/or over-refraction a modification may have been performed. Data for the hyperope and myope groups were combined for this endpoint since the number of lenses needed to optimize vision is indpendent of which group a subject belongs to.
