- The subject must read, understand, and sign the STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT and receive a fully executed copy of the form.
- The subject must appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol.
- The subject must be between 18 and 40 years of age.
- The subject's vertex corrected spherical equivalent distance refraction must be in the range of -0.50 Diopters (D) to -8.00 D in each eye.
- The subject's refractive cylinder must be no more than -1.00 D cylindrical correction in each eye after vertexing to the corneal plane.
- The subject must have best corrected visual acuity of 0.20 or better in each eye.
- The subject must be a current wearer of daily, spherical, soft contact lenses (no bifocal or multifocal contact lenses, no extended wear or monovision) for at least 5 days/week and at least 8 hours/day during the month prior to enrollment.
- The subject must be using digital devices (any combination of computers, tablets, smart phones etc.) for at least 8 hours over the course of a typical day.
- The subject should own a wearable pair of spectacles and wear them the day of the baseline visit.
- The subject must have normal eyes with no evidence of abnormality or disease that in the opinion of the investigator would contraindicate contact lens wear.
- The subject must meet normal eligibility conditions of binocular vision tests.
- The subject may not have any double vision at near with their habitual contact lens correction.
- Currently pregnant or lactating (subjects who become pregnant during the study will be discontinued).
- Any ocular or systemic allergies or diseases that may interfere with contact lens wear (at the investigator's discretion).
- Any systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or use of medication, which may interfere with contact lens wear (at the investigator's discretion).
- Use of any medication that causes side effects similar to side effects experienced when using digital devices, such as a subject reporting headaches associated with birth control pills (at the investigator's discretion).
- Any infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease.
- Any active ocular infection.
- Entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, aphakia, or moderate or above corneal distortion.
- Any previous, or planned, ocular or interocular surgery (e.g., radial keratotomy, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), etc.).
- Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, or any other abnormalities of the cornea which would contraindicate contact lens wear.
- Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection which might interfere with contact lens wear.
- Any known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to the study products.
- Participation in any contact lens or lens care product clinical trial within 7 days prior to study enrollment.
- History of binocular vision abnormality or strabismus.
- Employee of investigational clinic (e.g., Investigator, Coordinator, Technician).

Group Intervention Description Group 1 (TEST / CONTROL wear sequence) CONTROL Contact Lens Subjects randomly assigned to the TEST Contact Lens or the CONTROL Contact Lens in the TEST / CONTROL wearing sequence will wear each of the study lenses for 4 weeks according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Subjects will be dispensed the other (second) lens type at the second dispense visit. Group 2 (CONTROL / TEST wear sequence) CONTROL Contact Lens Subjects randomly assigned to the TEST Contact Lens or the CONTROL Contact Lens in the CONTROL / TEST wearing sequence will wear each of the study lenses for 4 weeks according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Subjects will be dispensed the other (second) lens type at the second dispense visit. Group 1 (TEST / CONTROL wear sequence) TEST Contact Lens Subjects randomly assigned to the TEST Contact Lens or the CONTROL Contact Lens in the TEST / CONTROL wearing sequence will wear each of the study lenses for 4 weeks according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Subjects will be dispensed the other (second) lens type at the second dispense visit. Group 2 (CONTROL / TEST wear sequence) TEST Contact Lens Subjects randomly assigned to the TEST Contact Lens or the CONTROL Contact Lens in the CONTROL / TEST wearing sequence will wear each of the study lenses for 4 weeks according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Subjects will be dispensed the other (second) lens type at the second dispense visit.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall CLUE Comfort Up to 4-Week Follow-up Overall comfort was 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall CLUE Handling Up to 4-Week Follow-up Overall Handling was 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.
Time to Haze Up to 4-Week Follow-up Time to haze measure the maximum time a contact lens wearers can keep their eye open without their vision becoming hazy. It was a measure of how the drying of the contact lens surface with open eyes affects vision.
Average Comfortable Wear Time Up to 4-Week Follow-up Average comfortable lens wear time with the study lenses were recorded in hour at each follow-up visit.
Difference in Total Device Use Time and Comfortable Wear Time During Device Use Up to 4-Week Follow-up Subjects reported the total duration of their digital device use and comfortable lens wear time during digital device use.
Average Wear Time Up to 4-Week Follow-up Average lens wear time with the study lenses were recorded in hour at each follow-up visit.
Comfort at the End of the Day Up to 4-Week Follow-up Subjects graded the comfort level at the end of the day using 5- point scale (1=excellence, 2=very good, 3=good, 4=fair and 5=poor). The average end of day comfort grade was reported for each lens type.
