Inclusion Criteria

• Sign informed consent document;

• Successful wear of single-vision spherical, 2-week/ monthly replacement silicone hydrogel contact lenses in both eyes daily wear during the past 2 months for a minimum of 5 days/week, 8 hours/day. (Note: Monovision is included);
• Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria

• History of herpetic keratitis, corneal surgery or irregular cornea;
• Any use of systemic or ocular medications within the past 30 days for which contact lens wear could be contraindicated as determined by the investigator;

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mean Ex-vivo Cholesterol Deposits After 30 Days of Wear	Day 30, each product	The contact lens (right eye) was removed and stored dry and frozen until analysis. Total cholesterol deposits (cholesterol and cholesterol esters) were extracted from the lens and measured in micrograms. Lower deposits indicate increased lens performance. Study originally intended to analyze 36 lenses per arm, but actual number of lenses analyzed was less due to measurement error.
