Clinical Performance of Hydrogel vs. Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses

Not Applicable

Completed

Conditions: Myopia

Interventions: Device: omafilcon A
Device: ocufilcon D
Device: methafilcon A

Registration Number: NCT02131402

Lead Sponsor: Coopervision, Inc.

Brief Summary: The aim of this non-dispensing fitting study is to evaluate the subjective comfort, lens handling, lens fitting characteristics and visual acuity of different hydrogel lens designs versus silicone hydrogel lenses

Detailed Description: This is a 60-subject, double masked, randomized, contra lateral, non-dispensing fitting trial comparing different lens materials (hydrogel vs silicone hydrogel). It is anticipated that this study will involve 2 visits, for each lens pair, as follows: Visits: V1 (lens dispensing), V2 (1 hour post lens settling). Each subject will be randomized to wear the test and control lenses in a series of three short fitting comparisons.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
enfilcon A / omafilcon A	omafilcon A	Participants wear a pair of lenses, with a test lens in one eye and a control lens in the contra lateral eye. After approximately 1 hour of lens wear, the lenses will be removed and the next pair will be inserted. This will be repeated for a total of three pairs of lenses.
enfilcon A / ocufilcon D	ocufilcon D	Participants wear a pair of lenses, with a test lens in one eye and a control lens in the contra lateral eye. After approximately 1 hour of lens wear, the lenses will be removed and the next pair will be inserted. This will be repeated for a total of three pairs of lenses.
enfilcon A / methafilcon A	methafilcon A	Participants wear a pair of lenses, with a test lens in one eye and a control lens in the contra lateral eye. After approximately 1 hour of lens wear, the lenses will be removed and the next pair will be inserted. This will be repeated for a total of three pairs of lenses.
