Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Visual Acuity
• Interventions: Device: Spectacles; Device: ACUVUE OASYS®1-Day with HydraLuxe™ Technology

• Registration Number: NCT03913377
• Lead Sponsor: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.

Brief Summary

This clinical study will investigate the difference in ocular characteristics between contact lens wear and spectacle wear among habitual contact lens wearers, using a 2-treatment by 2-period cross-over design. There will be a 1-week washout between the two study periods to eliminate any potential carryover effect.

Exclusion Criteria

• Potential subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study:

  1. Currently pregnant or lactating, by self-report
  2. Any ocular or systemic allergies, disease or use of medication which may interfere with contact lens wear and/or participation in the study (at the discretion of the investigator).
  3. Any active ocular abnormalities/conditions that may interfere with contact lens wear and/or participation in the study (at the discretion of the investigator).
  4. Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear
  5. Habitual contact lens wear modality as extended wear (≥1 night per month of extended wear).
  6. Habitual contact lens is rigid gas permeable, toric, monovision or multi-focal
  7. Habitual spectacle contains an add power, photochromic or tint.
  8. Any previous, or planned (during the course of the study) ocular surgery (e.g., radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, etc.)
  9. Participation in any contact lens or lens care product clinical trial within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment.
  10. Employee or employee's immediate family member of clinical site (e.g., Investigator, Coordinator, Technician)
  11. Current habitual use of Restasis, Xiidra, ocular steroids, or any medication (RX or OTC) that may interfere with contact lens wear and/or participation in the study (at the discretion of the investigator)
  12. Any ocular allergies, infections or other ocular abnormalities that are known to interfere with contact lens wear and/or participation in the study. This may include, but not be limited to entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, aphakia, or corneal distortion.
  13. Any Grade 3 or greater biomicroscopy findings (this includes, corneal edema, corneal staining, corneal vascularization, conjunctival injection, tarsal abnormalities, bulbar injection) on the FDA classification scale (CTP-2018).
  14. Accommodative/binocular dysfunction, determined by study procedures.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Observational	Spectacles	Eligible subjects that are habitual spectacle wearers will use their habitual optical correction and undergo ocular evaluations and questionnaires at the baseline and 1-week visit.
Interventional	Spectacles	Eligible subjects that are habitual contact lens wearers who own spectacles will be randomized into 1 of 2 sequences (Spectacle/ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day or ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day/Spectacle)
Interventional	ACUVUE OASYS®1-Day with HydraLuxe™ Technology	Eligible subjects that are habitual contact lens wearers who own spectacles will be randomized into 1 of 2 sequences (Spectacle/ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day or ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day/Spectacle)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Non-Invasive Break Up Time (NIBUT) or Non-Invasive Keratograph Break Up Time (NIKBUT)	1-Week Follow-up	NIBUT/NIKBUT was measured as the time interval in seconds after the final blink to the first appearance of distortion in the reflected rings; or to the time that the participant has to blink due to discomfort. NIBUT is measured by a topographer (e.g. Medmont) via observation by the investigator and a stopwatch. NIKBUTis measured by the Oculus Keratograph and reported by the instrument. Different instrumentation was used depending on site availability. Combined measurements of pre-lens data collected for the interventional arm are reported. Only the interventional arm was reported since the primary analysis was conducted among habitual contact lens users. The average NIKBUT was reported for each treatment. Higher values indicate better performance

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Total Scores of Meibomian Gland Expressibility (MGE)	1-Week Follow-up	Meibomian gland expressiblity was assessed in three regions of the lower eyelid: temporal, central, and nasal. Each region is expressed and the overall grade of the region is evaluated using a four-grade scale: 0 = No Secretion, 1 = Inspissated, 2 = Colored/Cloudy Liquid, and 3 = Clear Liquid Oil. The total score was calculated as the sum of all grades across the three regions and ranged from 0 (no secretion) to 9, with higher scores indicating more MGE. Total scores were converted into a binary variable for the analysis purpose where Y=1 if the total score is greater than 6 and 0 otherwise. The percentage of participants with MGE total score greater than 6 was estimated. Only the interventional arm was reported since the secondary analysis was conducted among habitual contact lens users.
Conjunctival Staining	1-Week Follow-up	Conjunctival staining was graded and recorded by quadrant (Superior, Inferior, Nasal, and Temporal) using the following grading scale: Grade 0 = None, Grade 1 = Trace, Grade 2 = Mild, Grade 3 = Moderate, and Grade 4 = Severe. Average grade was calculated based on grades of the four quadrants. Only the interventional arm was reported since the secondary analysis was conducted among habitual contact lens users.
Number of Eyes With Clinically Significant (Grade 3 or 4 of Overall Classification) Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy	1-Week Follow-up	Horizontal lid margin staining and sagittal lid margin staining are graded for each eyelid (upper and lower) separately. The horizontal and sagittal grades are then averaged for each eyelid to obtain the upper lid average grade and lower lid average grade. The final grade is the average of the upper and lower lid average grades. Participants can be classified according to their final grades for each eye. The classification is defined as follows: "None" for final grades of 0, "Mild" for final grades between 0.25 and 1.00, "Moderate" for final grades between 1.25 and 2.00, and "Severe" for final graded between 2.25 and 3.00. Only the interventional arm was reported since the secondary analysis was planned to be conducted among habitual contact lens users only.
Meibomian Gland Expressibility (MGE) Grades	1-Week Follow-up	Meibomian gland expressiblity was assessed in three regions of the lower eyelid: temporal, central, and nasal. Each region is expressed and the overall grade of the region is evaluated using a four-grade scale: 0 = No Secretion, 1 = Inspissated, 2 = Colored/Cloudy Liquid, and 3 = Clear Liquid Oil. Only the interventional arm was reported since the secondary analysis was conducted among habitual contact lens users.
