Multi-Center Clinical Evaluation of Two Reusable Soft Contact Lenses

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Myopia
Registration Number
NCT02542072
Lead Sponsor
Coopervision, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the subjective performance of comfilcon A lens against samfilcon A lens after 4 weeks of reusable lens wear.

Detailed Description

This will be a 90 subject, randomized, bilateral, subject-masked, dispensing, cross-over study comparing comfilcon A versus samfilcon A lenses over 8 weeks of daily wear (2 x 4-weeks). Both eyes will wear the same lens (test or control) for 4 weeks in a randomized fashion. Subjects will be masked to lens type and investigators will be masked to the lens codes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ComfortBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Subjective ratings of comfort (comfort after insertion, typical comfort just prior to removal, and overall comfort) for comfilcon A and samfilcon A assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. Scale of 0-10 (0=painful, 10=can't feel the lenses).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Wearing TimesBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Average wear time and comfortable wearing times (WTs) in hours for habitual, comfilcon A, and samfilcon A lenses.

Biomicroscopy ScoresBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Biomicroscopy for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lens assessed. Scale 0-4 in 0.5 steps 0=none, 1=trace, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe

Deterioration in ComfortBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Deterioration of comfortable wearing time for habitual, comfilcon A, samfilcon A lenses. Subjects answered 'yes' or 'no' to the following question 'does contact lens comfort deteriorate during wear?'. Yes=deterioration in comfort present, No=deterioration in comfort absent

Overall Lens HandlingBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Handling (ease of insertion and ease of removal) for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses. Scale 0-10, 0=very difficult to handle, 10=very easy to handle.

Film Deposits2 weeks and 4 weeks

Front surface film deposits for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses. Scale 0-4, 0=No film, 1=Slight film visible only under magnification, 2=Moderate film only under magnification, 3=Moderate film visible to the naked eye, 4=Heavy film visible to the naked eye.

Comfortable Wearing Time Via SMS (Short Message Service)Days 3, 12, 26

Comfortable wearing times (WTs) via SMS (Short Message Service) for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses assessed at days 3, 12, and 26 at hours 8:00 am, 12:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and 8:00 pm. Scale of 0-10 (0=painful, 10=can't feel the lenses).

Vision QualityBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Vision quality of comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses. Scale 0-10, 0=completely dissatisfied, 10=completely satisfied.

Visual Acuity (VA)Baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Visual acuity (VA) for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lens wear is assessed using Snellen.

Lens CentrationBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Lens centration will be recorded by degree and direction in the primary position. 0=Centered -optimal, 1=Decentered slightly, 2=Substantially decentered (\>0.5mm)

Corneal CoverageBaseline Visit, 2 weeks follow-up, 4-weeks follow-up

Investigator assessment of corneal coverage for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenes.

Yes = coverage at all times or No = coverage incomplete

Post-Blink MovementBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Post-blink movement for comifilcon A and samfilcon A lenses are assessed. 0=Insufficient, unacceptable movement, 1=Minimal, but acceptable movement, 2=Optimal movement, 3=Moderate, but acceptable movement, 4=Excessive, unacceptable movement

Lens Tightness Push-upBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Investigator assessment of lens tightness push-up for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses.

Scale 0%-100% continuous scale, 100%=No movement, 50%=Optimum, 0%=Falls from cornea without lid support

DrynessBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Subjective response of dryness for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses during a typical day of wear and prior to removal. Scale of 0-10, 10=No dryness, 0=Extremely dry

Lens Surface WettingBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Lens surface wettability assessment for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses. Scale 0-4 in 0.5 steps, 0=very poor, 4=excellent

White Spot Deposits2 weeks and 4 weeks

Number of white spot deposits for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses.

Primary Gaze LagBaseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks

Investigator assessment of primary gaze lag for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses. Scale 0-4, 0=Insufficient, unacceptable movement, 1=Minimal, but acceptable movement, 2=Optimal movement, 3=Moderate, but acceptable movement, 4=Excessive, unacceptable movement

Overall Fit AcceptanceBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks

Overall fit acceptance for comfilcon A and samfilcon A lenses. Scale 0-4, 0=Should not be worn, 1=Borderline but unacceptable, 2=Minimum acceptable, early review, 3=Not perfect but okay to dispense, 4=Perfect
