Somofilcon A multifocal lenssomofilcon A multifocal lensHabitual wearers of multifocal contact lenses will be refit to somofilcon A multifocal lens and provide a subjective assessment.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vision Clarity During the Day - Distance Vision3 weeks

Subjective expectation - Vision clarity during the day - distance vision was measured from three subjective expectation responses completed at the office. The responses were assigned numbers as below:

Fell short of expectations = 1 Met my expectations = 2 Exceeded my expectations = 3

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Visual Acuity3 weeks

Distance visual acuity (logMAR)

Ease of Insertion3 weeks

Subjective rating how easy lens was inserted on eye for somofilcon A multifocal lens (1 = Fell short of expectation, 2 = Met expectation, 3 = Exceeded expectations)

Ease of Removal3 weeks

Subjective rating for somofilcon A multifocal lens on how easy lens was removed from eye (1 = Fell short of expectation, 2 = Met expectation, 3 = Exceeded expectations)

Overall Satisfaction Preference Between Study and Habitual Contact Lenses3 weeks

Subjective satisfaction preference between study and habitual contact lenses (Fell short of expectations, Met ,my expectations, Exceeded my expectations))

Corneal Staining3 weeks

Corneal staining will be assessed for extent (0-100) with 0 indicating no staining/indentation and 100 indicating deep confluent staining or severe indentation for following regions: Temporal, Superior, Nasal, Inferior and Central.

Conjunctival Staining3 weeks

Conjunctival staining will be assessed using CORE integer scale (0-100) with 0 indicating no staining/indentation and 100 indicating deep confluent staining or severe indentationfor following regions: Temporal, Superior, Nasal, Inferior.

Subjective Vision Satisfaction - Near Vision3 weeks

Subjective satisfaction of near vision while reading on cell phone and hand-held materials for somofilcon A multifocal lens (1 = fell short of expectation, 2 = met expectation, 3 = exceed expectation)

Overall Satisfaction With Speed of Changing Focus3 weeks

Subjective rating for speed and ability to change focus between distances for somofilcon A multifocal lens (1 = Fell short of expectation, 2 = Met expectation, 3 = Exceeded expectations)

Overall Preference Between Study and Habitual Contact Lenses for Lifestyle3 weeks

Preference of contact lens for the whole range of tasks (Prefer strongly, Prefer slightly, No preference, Prefer study lenses slightly, Prefer study lenses strongly)

Post-blink Lens Movement3 weeks

Movement of lens on eye after blink was graded on a 5-point scale (0-4, 1 steps) as follows: 0 - insufficient, 1 - minimal but acceptable, 2 - optimal, 3 - moderate but acceptable , and 4 - excessive unacceptable.

Bulbar Hyperemia3 weeks

Grading hyperemia of bulbar conjunctiva on a scale ranged from 0-4 and in 0.50 steps, with 0 indicating no hyperemia and 4 indicating severe hyperemia.

Subjective Vision Satisfaction - Long Intermediate Vision3 weeks

Subjective satisfaction of long intermediate vision while using desktop computer for somofilcon A multifocal lens (1= fell short of expectation, 2= met expectation, 3= exceed expectation)

Overall Comfort3 weeks

Subjective rating of comfort for habitual lens and somofilcon A multifocal lens at 3 weeks (Prefer my own strongly, Prefer my own slightly, No preference, Prefer study lenses slightly, Prefer study lenses strongly)

Number of Participants With Lens Centration3 weeks

Lens centration on the cornea (Optimum, Acceptable decentration, Unacceptable decentration (\>=0.5mm))

Subjective Vision Satisfaction - Driving at Night3 weeks

Subjective satisfaction of distance vision while driving at night responses for somofilcon A multifocal lens (1= fell short of expectation, 2 = met expectation, 3= exceed expectation)

Subjective Vision Satisfaction - Short Intermediate Tasks3 weeks

Subjective satisfaction of short/intermediate vision while using laptop/tablet for somofilcon A multifocal lens (1= fell short of expectation, 2= met expectation, 3= exceed expectation)
