Clinical Evaluation of Reusable Soft Contact Lenses

Not Applicable

Completed

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to confirm the clinical performance of a novel manufacturing process for comfilcon A contact lenses in habitual wearers over a one-month period of lens wear.

Detailed Description: This was a prospective, multiple day, double-masked (investigator and subject), randomized, bilateral re-fit parallel arm study comparing a Test Lens against an appropriate Control Lens. Participants were randomized to wear the Test or Control lens for 30±2 days.
